"We love the painting of a Canterbury backcountry hut from Jo. It’s well proportioned, nicely detailed and is like looking out the window to a tramping memory."

"The swallow painting I commissioned as a present from Southpaw Studio turned out even better than what I had imagined. Johanna has been great at communicating and taking all ideas I had in mind on board. I highly recommend Southpaw Studio to anyone looking for a unique gift for someone special."

"I’m a big believer in supporting local. I’m very pleased with my artwork from the passionate budding artist, Johanna. Excellent communication and customer service. Definitely, one to watch, I love the use of bold colours in her work. Thanks again, Scott"

"Love love love my paintings by Johanna, I challenged her with 2 commissions, she researched, asked questions then surprised me with 2 amazing paintings. Super friendly, easy to get on with, and finished quickly, everyone loves my paintings and often ask me where I got them from. Thanks, Johanna"

"Thank you Johanna for being such a superstar when it came to customising artwork for our special day! So professional, insanely talented and just an absolute joy to work with!"
