Think of Joni Mitchell and think primarily of her incredible career as a singer, songwriter, musical innovand trailblazer. Much has been written and discussed of her musical career - much less so of her life as a painter. She created the artwork for each of her albums, and in 2000 described herself as a "painter derailed by circumstance." A blunt critic of the music industry, Mitchell stopped recording over the last several years, focusing more attention on painting, but in 2007 she released Shine her first album of new songs in nine years.
