Joann axford biography of william hill
She received her bachelor degree at the University of Bridgeport, Conn. and her masters from The College of Saint Rose. Her interest in botanical imagery led her to post-graduate study in Botanical Illustration at The New York Botanical Garden.
It was during her studies in the Skidmore College studio that she developed her unique technique for carving bas-relief porcelain pottery.
She looks to Sung dynasty Chinese porcelains and American Arts and Crafts period artist Adelaide Robineau for her carving inspiration.

Unlike these influences, she does not glaze her porcelain vessels, choosing rather to retain the sculptural quality of un-glazed porcelain enhanced by hand polishing.
JoAnn finds inspiration in balancing her studio practice with teaching.
She has taught in public schools, art centers, and colleges, most recently at Sage College in Albany, NY.
