About
Jo is an artist & illustrator based between Dublin & London
Known for her large tutti-frutti playful murals, her work embraces a nostalgic feel with a contemporary and surreal sensibility.
”Every project starts with research, collating imagery that I source from a broad spectrum of resources; books, online archives, personal collections and exhibitions. I often start my projects using handcut collage. Cutting and layering, which helps me find new paths of composition and narrative.”
Her unique visual style leaves audiences with space to form their own narratives, giving the artwork longevity and a feeling of timelessness.Jo’s been making and creating from an early age, going on to study Fine Art in Liverpool. At art school she experimented with all kinds of conceptual ideas and mediums, falling in love with the process of collage, painting and screenprint.
As ambition grew she needed larger screens and canvas, her brother Edd introduced her to street art and encouraged large scale painting. The transition from printing to painting was a logical natural development . Forward on some years, she has now collaborated with high-profile brands, institutions, independent businesses, and community groups. Producing a diverse portfolio of nationwide commercial work over the past 8 years.
