Evening Glow
LIMITED EDITION CANVAS - PER0003
NOTES: In the evening glow of warm candlelight, a young girl plays with the tassels of her mother's shawl as the woman adorns her child’s hair in this exquisite work unveiled at the 2013 Masters of the American West Exhibition and Sale. Any woman who has experienced this maternal joy associated with dressing up a daughter or granddaughter knows there's a special bond that occurs during this time-honored ritual.
JoAnn Peralta's inspiration for her artwork springs from her admiration and deep bond she had with her grandmother, Anita Peralta. She paints under her surname to pay homage to her. Both sides of Peralta's parents' lineage come directly from Spain as well as from Italy. The families eventually migrated to Mexico and then to the U.S. Anita arrived in California along with her husband, Ramon, in the early 20's. They established a meager living from itinerant farm work, picking seasonal crops and traveling via bus to those sites.
My mother has memories as a little girl of being in the fields while her mom picked walnuts” explains Peralta. “It is my belief that my grandmother's work ethic deeply influenced my mother and in turn each of her children because we've all strived to become the best at what we do. I look to pay tribute to the culture that helped shape my grandmother. I'm capturing moments of cultural experiences as well as the beauty of what helped shape my family.”

"My kindergarten teacher told my mother that I was going to be an artist," begins JoAnn Peralta, a third generation Californian. "As a teenager I would hang out at the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena and take in the beautiful fine art while studying the color, design and strokes of the masters. There was never anyone really encouraging me to do this. I just knew I had to do it." Peralta found Vincent Van Gogh paintings affected her in such a deeply aesthetic way that she began to pursue oil painting and drawing on her own. With no formal training, Peralta was awarded a full-scholarship to Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. She attended for four years as an illustration/fine arts major. Thereafter, Peralta worked as an illustrator for book publishing companies as well as creating video covers and magazine cover/illustrations. Peralta is represented by Trailside Galleries, Scottsdale, AZ and Jackson Hole, WY. She has exhibited in the Masters of the American West Exhibition and Sale held annually at the Autry Museum, in Glendale, CA since 2010. Artistic influences include (but are not limited to) Joaquin Sorolla, Vincent Van Gogh, Clark Hulings and Anders Zorn. She credits her ever-patient and loving husband, Morgan Weistling, with pushing her to a higher level of excellence. "There were always signs along the way and I allowed them to lead me to this particular divine appointment." She credits her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ with giving her this talent. Among other "divine appointments" was her marriage to Morgan Weistling as well as her two daughters. Because of her admiration and deep bond for her grandmother, Anita Peralta, JoAnn paints under the surname of Peralta.
