Jo Wilson
Jo is a local Hawkes Bay artist. She has a diverse style of artwork, which defies any categorization. Her works span across the genres of contemporary, abstract and surrealist art, utilizing vibrant colours and innovative textures.
She is married, and has two daughters. Her hairdressing background has given her a strong creative flair, with an eye for detail and focus on colour and composition in her artworks.
Jo is a self-taught artist and she enjoys the freedom to paint whatever, however with no boundaries to work by. Her art is unique in style, not having to explain or interpret them, leaving the judgment in the eye of the beholder.
She aims to create rich vibrant works with a diverse range of subjects.
She sees her art as a creative journey, always exploring new concepts and developing innovative techniques and often pushes the boundaries of acrylic paints and the many mediums she uses with them. More recently exploring the wondrous effects of resin, with its glass-like finishes.
Jo says that succeeding as an artist requires a high level of commitment and dedication, along with the ability to consistently produce top quality work and you have to be really passionate about your art for it to show through in your paintings.
Having the freedom to paint intuitively is a unique attribute for Jo.
