In the sixties, Joni Mitchell dropped out of the Alberta School of Art in Calgary and moved to Toronto, where she started out as a fledgling singing performer. Even when success came as a folksinger, Joni never forgot her love for making pictures. All throughout her singing career, Joni was responsible for the design of her album covers, often creating a painted self-portrait to grace the front. Even more important was her complete return to the visual creation process after her last album was released in 2007.
