About the artist

Jo is an artist painting with oils. Returning to study Interior Decoration as an adult reconnected Jo with her love of a regular art practice, and now she paints as her full time passion. Adopting a largely self taught approach to painting, she experimented with a number of mediums before falling in love with the rich colour and textural possibilities of oil paint. Jo lives in the small coastal township of Apollo Bay on the Great Ocean Road in regional Victoria, where the beautiful natural environment informs much of her landscape work, but as a keen gardener, Jo also has a love of still life that documents her home grown flowers, fruit, and carefully collected household items. Jo has exhibited in many group shows since 2021, and has been selected as a finalist in a number of national art prizes, including twice for The Regional Landscape Prize and Inside This Box, as well as for The Every Day, the Lethbridge 20000, the Waverley Woollhara 9 x 5 Landscape Prize, and most recently for the Mornington Peninsula Contemporary Art Prize. In 2024 Jo was one of 7 artists invited to Exhibit at the Inverell Contemporary, hosted by the Inverell Art Gallery, NSW. In 2024 The Cornerstore Gallery in Orange, NSW, hosted a solo exhibition of Jo’s work in Around The Table. Her work is held in many private collections.
