Joanne Stephens
Man’s best friends go digital.

Ask any horse, dog or cat owner what feature stands out about their four legged buddies and they’ll tell you it’s their personality. Capturing that personality in the form of a caricature is what Joanne Stephens does best.



Joanne’s art, inspired by her love of animals and her lifelong experience of riding and showing horses has now moved into the digital age. Move over pencil and paper, Joanne uses a digital laptop touch screen computer to draw her animal caricatures. The advantage of using a computer gives her caricatures a very warm and colorful appearance.

Joanne does all sorts of live events such as parties and horse shows and is also available to come out to your home or barn. Her unique “Live Digital Caricatures” are amazing to watch as they come to life and her quick and comical renderings are complemented by her witty and entertaining qualities.

She also does individually commissioned caricature portraits via emailed photos. The digitally created art is then printed on either a high quality art paper or transformed onto a canvas to become a digital “painting.”

Joanne has been a member of the National Caricaturist Network, an international organization of professional artists for many years.
