ARTIST'S
STATEMENT
I
perceive life in colours, energy and light. I engage all
my senses, emotions, and experiences to bring the canvas
in front of me to life.
I am not a technician; I am in search of experience and
understanding.
My
work in Chinese medicine has changed my perception of health,
life, how we interact with our environment, others and ourselves.
It has deepened, and renewed my wonder in nature, and intimately
influences my art.
The
paintings are a map of my consciousness dynamically changing
from moment to moment. My aim is to attract and absorb people
and to create a place where everything seems to stop for
a second, a place where inner and outer worlds connect.
BIOGRAPHY
Jo
is a self-taught artist. After holding a solo/self-managed
exhibition at Lauderdale House in Highgate, London, she
has been invited to exhibit in unusual spaces, such as Holmes
Place Lifestyle Clubs in Notting Hill (London) and Salzburg/Vienna
(Austria).
Jo
lives and works in North London as an artist and practitioner
of Chinese medicine. Her career in Chinese medicine, and
trips to the East, greatly influence her paintings and way
of life. Her love of painting with rich colours, large canvasses
and gold guilding metallics are reminiscent of the East,
and highly responsive to light.
She
has undertaken numerous commissions and recently her work
has been purchased by many private collectors in the North/Central
London area.
Her
paintings are a celebration of life, movement and colour,
yet at the same time elegant and relaxing. The explorsion
of energy and colours uplifts and inspires. Her aim is to
attract and absorb, to create a space where inner and outer
worlds connect.
Jo
is founder of hte Inspired Art Fair 2003, an exciting new
project where over 250 pieces of contemporary art by talented
self-taught painters, sculptors and photographers will be
showcased at the Old Truman Brewery, Brick Lane, London
E1, from 2-5 October 2003 (see
