"My inspiration comes from the shapes and rhythm of the natural world. I love the seasons and from my palette I mix and create the colours, using the paint to translate what I see and feel onto the canvas."

 

 

Jo was born in 1955 in Australia and moved to England in 1966. She has lived in Devon for 40 years bringing up her family and painting from her studio in East Devon. 
 
Jo exhibits in galleries in London and Devon. 
 
She is inspired to paint by the beauty of the landscape around her and garden flowers. It is an emotional response to nature with colour and composition, translating what she sees onto the canvas. She scratches and draws into the paint using intuition and imagination. 
Artist that have influenced Jo’s work include Joan Eardley, Ivon Hitchens and Joan Mitchell.
