After graduating in 1991 from Reading University she established her career in London where she lived for 15 years. Awards from Arts Council England and Pilkington enabled her to work and travel to remote parts of Alaska and Patagonia, India and Kazakstan. Closer to home, the land and seas of Northern Britain and Cornwall source her imagery. Her paintings have been selected for exhibition by ING Discerning Eye and the Affordable Art Fair annually since 2009. They continue to attract individual and corporate clients here and abroad. Jo is currently based in the south west.
