Story
A noble career as a jeweler was my path for many years. My name is Jo Anne, the artist and creator of Artura Fine Art and the founding owner of Gregory’s Jewelers. Working alongside my husband, Gregory, and our two sons, has been a great privilege. Gregory passed away in 2022. Thanks to the willingness, hard work and talent of my son, Frank, our family’s legacy continues.

A noble journey of growth is taking place in my life. Hidden within my paintings are hints of grief but also of acceptance, solace and hope. I am a lifelong artist by nature and the inspiration to paint now comes to me like an old friend, offering comfort.
Dedication
A noble tribute to my husband, Gregory, is the creation of Artura Fine Art. He encouraged me to follow my art spirit. Artura’s star logo represents his essence, which is always with me. The name Artura means noble and defines the life we had together and the ideals that power me onward and upward.
PHILOSOPHY
A noble approach to living is the ancient wisdom of Wabi Sabi.
It’s all about finding beauty in the imperfections of life and embracing our fate with grace.
I believe our lives, imperfect as they may seem, are perfectly divine.
