about us

With over two decades of experience working as a freelance artist, illustrating book covers and children’s books, and creating fine art photography, Joanie’s need to create brings two new businesses- Joanie Schwarz Portraiture and Love Your Life Designs. In both new businesses, she is creating cherished heirlooms and lasting fine art portraits with her unique artistic eye.

Here’s what 3x3 The Magazine of Contemporary Illustration has to say about Joanie’s work -

"Joanie is an acclaimed artist whose work bridges the gaps between fine art, photography, and illustration. Her work has appeared in numerous publications including Newsweek, U.S. News and World Report and Playboy Magazine as well as numerous children's books. Her artwork has been commissioned by private collectors, for posters and for hundreds of book covers including a series of Nancy Drew Notebooks for Simon and Schuster."

Joanie’s home studio is located in Westfield, New Jersey, where she photographs, paints, and creates all her Love Your Life products.
