About the artwork.
Beloved Milwaukee-based artist Joanna Poehlmann established her career creating delicate, detailed, and wondrous drawings and books that emphasize the natural world. An industrious collector, Poehlmann surrounds herself with natural elements and everyday objects she finds in her regular observations of nature and the world around her. In works such as True Blue II, she combines her love of nature and her love of art history, referencing the late nineteenth-century painter associated with dreamy, moody work, Odilon Redon.
