Morena Bohemia Art

Hi everyone my name is Joey Northrop!  I am an artist and professional photographer residing in the city of Petersburg VA. I like to describe my art as a form of storytelling.

For the most part, I am what some may call a self-taught artist. Ever since my first experience in high school with acrylic paints I knew I had found a lifelong love.  Because of certain life events I was unable to attend formal training classes; but that did not put an end to my pursuit in the arts.

Most of my professional career was dedicated to sales and marketing to include six years as a federal employee. Due to a debilitating spinal accident I had to withdraw from my position in Washington D.C. and during my recovery stage I picked up my pen and sketch pad to help me pass the time.  I soon realized that I had returned to what I loved the most, art. I have recently dedicated myself full-time to my art. 

I use mixed media to include digital rendering; my favorites are water colors and soft pastels. I also enjoy slumping glass into beautiful art pieces for display or practical use. Recently I have discovered yet another way to use a nature inspired jewel (sea glass) to provide wearable art that can be shared at home or on the go.  

I love painting whimsical mermaid stories and art reflecting distinct cultures and time periods.  It is my hope that everyone who views my artwork will identify with its story or at least walk away with a smile. My artwork has found patrons around the world such as Canada, Germany, England, Puerto Rico, and throughout the rest of the United States.
