JDSG - JoAnn DePolo Studio & Gallery - Opens in Westlake, Ohio 

JoAnn DePolo Studio & Gallery is opening in Kensington Square on 28719 Center Ridge Road in Westlake, Ohio after ten successful years at its previous location in North Olmsted.

DePolo has been a professional artist since 1995. By request, she began teaching private painting lessons in her home studio in 1998.  Since painting classes quickly grew in 2000, DePolo rented space at various available buildings like community centers, arts organizations and dance studios to accommodate student demand. After 12 years of having a ‘pop-up’ art studio, traveling to conduct classes which included transporting all art supplies, easels, tables, chairs, and drop cloths, DePolo decided to move forward in her artistic endeavors and open her own art space. She opened her working studio and gallery on Brookpark Extension in North Olmsted in 2012.

JoAnn DePolo is an artist, author, speaker, teacher, and visionary. Her unique paintings of cityscapes, water scenes, and bold abstracts have gained recognition from art collectors internationally. JoAnn’s art can be found hanging in the homes of several celebrities, including world renowned artist Peter Max, recording artist Kenny Loggins, and Major League ball player Omar Vizquel. DePolo’s paintings are published in six art books. She is the author of Making It As An Artist published in 2006 which takes a vivid look at finding a successful path to an art career. DePolo is a contributing author to 101 Ways to Enhance Your Career.

JoAnn DePolo is an advocate for advancing art enrichment throughout communities.  She is highly sought after for her community arts organizational skills. DePolo has served on administrative boards and advisory committees for a number of arts organizations including the City of North Olmsted Arts Commission. She still travels and conducts painting workshops on a limited basis for Cuyahoga Public Libraries.

Although in a new location in Westlake, JoAnn DePolo Studio & Gallery continues to serve communities through art related events, such as community murals, painting lessons, art exhibits and art receptions. A new art environment will inspire new creativity in a new community.

JDSG is known for dynamic original concept fine art, individualized painting instruction and professional development.
