Artist Statement:
Inspiration: A fascination
with the creative process
began in my childhood and has
followed me through my life’s
journey. Sometimes my work
reflects my childhood or
immediate memories. Being a
romantic, a simple scene, an
emotion, an expression or a
dream triggers further imagery
and memory, which I find I
must express in paint or
written word.

| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
At the age of five, Jo developed a fascination for her mother’s skill at drawing the human figure in detail.
“My mother died not long after that and the memory of her artistic talent lingered.”
Shortly thereafter, Jo picked up pencil and paint to explore the mysteries of art for herself.

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
“A fascination with the creative process began in my childhood and has followed me through my life's journey. Sometimes my work reflects my childhood or present memories. Being a romantic, a simple scene, an emotion, an expression or a dream triggers further imagery and memory, which I find I must express in art or writing. I will never retire from the creative process!”
