Welcome to my collection on Bluethumb! Regards Jo.
I have worked as a professional artist for over fifteen years and have been a Bluethumb artist from the beginning.
With a background in Design and being self-taught, I have a love of the Australian landscape.
My paintings draw inspiration from my childhood experiences of rural WA, and the love of native flora and its environment. My expressionist style explores my interests in our landscape and the emotional responses and memories it evokes within us. I use intense colour and sweeping brush marks to create a sense of movement within my works, evoking glimpses of Australia’s rural landscape. The resulting artworks are reflective, full of vitality, intense colour and emotion.
An expressionist at heart, key inspirations for my work lie in interpreting the emotional response to memories of landscape, and how this affects our character. The native flora and ancient landscapes are strong stimuli for investigating our senses’ response through colour, texture and movement. It is these remnants of experience which provides the key for interpretation of both personal and perceived experience."Please see artist's website for more information on past awards, achievements and exhibitions.
