Joelle is a low impact painter, climate optimist and animal welfare advocate based out of Richmond, CA. Her recent works are made from home in her studio next to her urban homestead where she is building a long term certified wildlife habitat, as part of an effort to reduce the impact of her family. Just last year she hosted a Regenerative Gala as an effort to celebrate collective movement towards earth restoration. Her works have been featured in the Zhou B Art Center in Chicago, Good Mother Gallery in Oakland, ROOM art gallery in Mill Valley, & Spacewomb Gallery in Manhattan. She holds an MFA in Art and Integrated Media from Brooklyn College.

Her work integrates themes of slow living, food ethics, and current global events with classic landscapes as a means of holding the dual nature of our existence in both hands. In her process she holds these truths: collapse of an old world and regeneration of a new, in order to gently encourage the viewer to imagine new narratives. In all cases, her intent is to inspire the viewers to act in defense of the natural environment, adopting principles of biomimicry. Provost believes that we could benefit from integrating an off grid mindset to our urban lifestyle, acknowledging our impact, as consumers, as a powerful force for change.
