Jo has worked as a freelance illustrator and printmaker since graduating from Manchester Metropolitan University, where she studied Fine Art. Her drypoint and chine collé prints are inspired by interiors and the aesthetics of everyday objects - drawing from unseen kitchen corners and stacks of forgotten pots. She incorporates fragments of collaged papers into the prints, from old stamps to vintage paper bags, to create an interesting textured background and to add a sense of nostalgia to each picture.
