Since moving to live by the coast, Jo’s corpus of artworks has continued to be informed and inflected by the power and energy of the ocean. Her paintings invoke and conjure the extremity of the weather, the vast space of an open beach, the intense vibrancy of reflections on wet sand – and, of course, the waves that ebb, and flow – and crash – unrelentingly.

The universal appeal – and pertinence – of Jo’s mixed-media work is evidenced by the geographical spread of her collectors, who can be found worldwide: throughout the UK, across Europe, and beyond.
