J R Oatts - aka - Joanne Oatts, is a British abstract artist whose practice focuses on the theme of 'colour in motion'. Her work has been exhibited in galleries and fairs in London, around the UK and internationally online, with collectors and followers across the globe.
Originally from Essex, and after decades living in London, in 2023 she relocated her studio practice to Bollington, Cheshire, on the edge of the Peak District.
Working in vibrant acrylics, she creates expressive, highly textured work that explores the concept of movement and connection - be that in nature, the body, or our thoughts within.
2024 will be her third time exhibiting at Manchester Art Fair.
