Thank you for taking the time to visit my website.

I’m Jo, a painter based in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island, BC.

I am passionate about exploring colour, texture, and light.

I work primarily with acrylics and oil pastels, building up layers to create ethereal, atmospheric landscapes and seascapes, and bold, colourful florals. I also enjoy creating small still life compositions.

My landscapes and seascapes are inspired by the

Comox Valley and the Pacific Northwest, and also by the English countryside where I grew up. I rarely work from photographs, preferring to work intuitively and let the painting guide me.

I am represented by Bainzy Art Gallery, Nanaimo.


You can also find a selection of my art cards and prints at the following locations in the Comox Valley:

  • Artifact, 214 5th St, Courtenay (some original work also available)

  • Tin Town Cafe, 2456 Rosewall Crescent, Courtenay

  • Mountain Top to Beach Giftware, 1797 Comox Ave, Comox
