Hi, I’m Joanne Guthrie
I’m an artist, welder, and environmental activist
creating sculptures and mixed-media work that explore resilience, transformation,
and the relationship between human industry and the natural world.
Each piece is crafted using reclaimed and organic materials—salvaged steel, handmade charcoal, natural dyes
—bringing a sense of purpose and renewal to every creation.
Whether you’re drawn to intricate metalwork or the softness of cloudscapes on handmade paper,
my work invites you to see beauty in what’s been overlooked or discarded.
Interested in how it all began?

Explore The Collections
Each collection brings together nature, sustainability, and transformation through unique processes and materials.
Elemental Daydreams
Elemental Daydreams merges raw metal sculptures,
handmade charcoal cloud drawings,
and intricate vine forms crafted from reclaimed materials
like copper, brass, and organic wood.
Inspired by the four elemental forces
—Earth, Water, Fire, and Air
—this collection reflects nature’s power, resilience, and fleeting beauty.
The artwork invites reflection on the delicate balance between
human creation and the natural world.
Bird's Eye View. Nature: An Emanation of Perfection.
This collection combines intricately embroidered handmade paper and scrap metal bird sculptures to create a fresh perspective on nature.
The embroidered landscapes reflect the beauty of the earth from above, capturing delicate details that evoke a sense of freedom and vastness.
The metal birds, forged from recycled materials, soar above these landscapes,
symbolizing the resilience of nature and the transformative power of repurposed materials.
Each piece is a celebration of both art and sustainability, inviting viewers to connect with the world from a new vantage point.
Occupying Space -Coming Soon!
Occupying Space explores the dynamic relationship
between materiality, presence, and space.
Through large-scale sculptures made from recycled and found materials,
it delves into themes of sustainability, transformation,
and the physicality of art.
Each piece invites reflection on how we interact with
and impact the spaces around us.
As the series unfolds, bold, tactile works will challenge
our perceptions of space, purpose, and our connection to the environment.
