Meet the Artist

Hello I’m JoJo and welcome to my colourful world.

​

I've been painting in watercolour for many years now and still consider it a dark art, mainly due to it's tricksy and unforgiving nature, but it's such a fascinating and fun medium to work with. I love the way it allows the painter to conjure ethereal visions with translucent washes, or on the other end of the scale, explosions of vibrant colour... the latter is where I'm happiest.

​

For me, colour is a form of therapy, not only does it have the power to change my mood whilst in the flow of painting, but it also has the ability to influence the viewer's emotions... you could call it Black Magic! This is the power I strive to harness in my work, if I can evoke an emotional response, be it a smile, laughter or even a tear, then mission accomplished!

"With color one obtains an energy that seems to stem from witchcraft."

- Henri Matisse
