Here the Jo explains her direction and thought process about her art...

...“I’m currently exploring margins in landscape; those areas where
land, sea, and sky shift and merge and change. The wild landscapes
of North Yorkshire, Cornwall, and Scotland are especially important
and influential in my work…often places I’ve visited many times, and
favourite walks in different seasons, weather and light conditions. I’m

fascinated by mark-making and my process involves building multiple
layers, using a wide range of materials and techniques.

I particularly like drawing back through layers of paint; sometimes

using an electric sander or glass paper, bradawls, silicone wedges
and etching needles.”
