Joni Mitchell Creates Her Own Album Artwork
Joni Mitchell is regarded by Rolling Stone as “one of the greatest songwriters ever.” Her politically-charged folk rock defined a generation, and the singer-songwriter truly worked her way up to international stardom. She started singing in small Canadian nightclubs and moved to the U.S. with dreams of making it. Mitchell isn’t just a profound songwriter. She’s a visual artist whose skills have seeped into every facet of her music work. Mitchell creates her own album artwork. The artist even describes herself as a “painter derailed by circumstance.” That’s right—before she ever picked up a guitar, she wanted to be an artist.
