Experimenting with new materials, styles and subjects is a great
pleasure for Jo. Her work has changed from painting to collage and back
again, often she combines both. Some subjects emerge from the containment
of a frame, in others, the subject exists without any frame. Texture is an
important component in all of her work. Layered tissue papers, textured
paints, pastes and collage elements bring an actual textural dimension to
many of her paintings.
The web site gives you the opportunity to see what Jo can create for
you, your home, office or as gifts. All works are original, made
specifically to your request.
The works shown are to give you an idea of what you might like.
Since these pieces are in private collections and most cannot be
reproduced, as in a print, Jo creates a new work which is similar to the
one you see on the site, to your individual order.
Many are cut out of wood while others are acrylic paint/pastel/tissue
collage on wood. Pieces with tissue give a special texture not easily
transferred in photos. Some of her work is done on paper with pastel or
charcoal.
