Click onto that site and you can click the tab for ‘artist’ or ‘artwork’ or you can click the tab for ‘Joan of Art’ and ask her your question. If it is public knowledge she will know. Good luck!

There is no single website for this task. Have you googled the name of the artist? If not, why not? If you have, and nothing came up, then the artist is NOT famous or well known, and the painting has no particular value.
