JoAnn Peralta<br />
Girl with Flowers<br />
JoAnn Peralta, as a very young girl, was inspired by paintings that sparked her creative inner<br />
spirit. Peralta found Vincent Van Gogh paintings affected her in such a deeply aesthetic<br />
way that she began to pursue oil painting and drawing on her own. “There was never anyone<br />
really encouraging me to do this. I just knew I had to do it.” Peralta adds, “As a teenager<br />
I would hang out at the <strong>No</strong>rton Simon Museum in Pasadena and take in the beautiful fine<br />
art while studying my favorite pieces”. Peralta didn’t receive artistic training until her early<br />
20’s when she received a full-scholarship to Art Center College of Design, in Pasadena, California,<br />
which she attended for four years as an illustration/fine arts major.<br />
