Hiscox Art Furnishings

Galleries in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Wisconsin and Wyoming

Background: A Liberal Arts degree, coupled with a MBA and 9 years' experience at a well-known consulting firm gave Joanne the confidence to go in new directions. In 1980, she co-founded a technical consulting company, devoting the next 20 years to its success and growth. Owning and operating a business provided endless financial, business and problem solving opportunities. Art's BA and MA in History, along with his Educational Specialists post graduate degree, led to a successful 32 year public school teaching and coaching career.

During their "career years", Joanne's and Art's creative sides were stimulated through extensive worldwide travel, soaking in cultural designs, styles and world famous works of art from around the World. Exposure to antiquities and treasures formed the basis of their individual artistic eyes, palettes and styles. Early age retirement provided the opportunity for this husband and wife team to pursue their artistic passions and interests.

Joanne and Art are part of the Resident Teaching Faculty of the Sedona Art Center.

"Fire Creek" table proceeds benefit the Granite Mountain Hotshot Crew's families.
