Eggshell Escape
by Tiffany Lynn
Joanna B. Ingco nurtured her artistic temperament in the midst of love, loss, and unadulterated naivete while tucked away in the suburbs of Los Angeles by way of San Francisco. Her eye for the beautiful in all things from the mundane to the glamorous had matured miles from the lap of luxury. She was reared in a home that valued the Pragmatic yet she managed to find Splendor in the aisles of the neighborhood 99 Cent Store and re-contextualized back alley vendors' latest merchandise into personal classics. An unconventional eye for detail makes Joanna the Artist and her radiant heart makes Joanna the Soul. Each piece is an actualized sample of the Person; the peculiar, the cute, and the bewitching. Her propensity for pop art influenced her own hand, lending to various media drenched in a tasteful kaleidoscope of brilliant hues and bold figures.
Ms. Ingco harbors a myriad of interests evidenced in her artwork, ranging from contemporary music and cult films, to latent and overt social controversies. Don't be deceived, dear reader...This young talent is still a girl at her core... She bakes ambrosial cupcakes, loves the Wonder Years, and is quite pretty in pink. We can certainly anticipate bigger and bolder from this burgeoning artist.
