A UC Berkeley graduate in Economics, she worked as a movie producer, making an early Kevin Costner film, and as a development director, raising millions for PBS. JoAnn’s passion for mosaics and Italy led to Orsoni Smalti Veneziani. Their new mosaic school needed students, and a career was born.

Her fascination with art and design, and her innate understanding of public relations, has enabled Bella Figura Communications to assist creative individuals and businesses in the achievement of their dreams.
