The beauty of nature surrounding Los Angeles was the impetus for her entrance into the field of photography. Joanne began vigorously studying photography and other art arenas to hone her skills as a visual artist. In 2000, she graduated from California State University, Los Angeles with a Masters of Fine Art (MFA). During these years Joanne continued as a tenured teacher for Los Angeles Unified School District. She is now a full-time artist.
In addition to color and black and white film, Joanne shoots digitally and employs the techniques of infrared imaging and enjoy creating 3D anaglyphs to be viewed with red/blue lenses. Joanne also enjoys combining images of nature with movie stills, mannequins, or human subjects in photo montages, with occasional text included in these artworks. As an extension of photography, she has branched out to do videos and has a YouTube Channel, THE VIDEO ART OF JOANNE CHASE-MATTILLO.
Joanne has exhibited throughout California, nationally throughout the USA, in Korea, France, England, Greece, Scotland and Switzerland.
