About Me

Joanna Powell Colbert is an artist and writer known internationally for her Goddess portraits and mythic art. Her artwork and writing appears often in the magazines SageWoman and PanGaia as well as many other alternative publications. Amber Lotus Publishers call her one of “the most accomplished and well-loved artists in the Goddess-spirit community.”

She is currently working on the creation of an earth-honoring Tarot deck, called the Gaian Tarot (www.GaianTarot.com).

Joanna has taught classes on the Goddess, Tarot and earth-centered spirituality in the Northwest since 1991. In the early 1990's, she helped revive The Beltane Papers: A Journal of Women’s Mysteries, and served as its managing editor for four years, co-creating the magazine with Helen Farias, Waverly Fitzgerald and a wildly creative collective of women.

Joanna lives on a small island in the Pacific Northwest with her husband, musician Craig Olson, where daily encounters with the mysteries of the natural world continue to inspire and inform her work. They live in a straw bale house they built themselves, which they call Heron House.
