Your painting arrived this week and we absolutely love it! It is a place we both adore. We haven't found the perfect spot for it just yet but can't wait to hang it soon so we can enjoy it in our lovely home. Many thanks Jo!

Jo's class covered a lot in a short time, but she struck a beautiful balance between teaching techniques and encouraging personal expression. I found the class very accessible aswell across all ages and abilities. Highly recommend!

Hi Jo,

I wanted to say a huge thank you for my birthday painting. It was such a lovely surprise and now on the wall in our house. It must have taken ages and provides fond memories of our life there. Thank you so much.

I have participated in 3 of Jo’s workshops now and I just love them!! Jo is such an inspiration and her content delivery is easy to follow and well paced. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

I recently attended Intro to Expressive Acrylics workshop and loved it!
I learned so much in the 3 hrs. Jo was a great teacher and created a beautiful, calm, and inclusive environment for us all to step out of our comfort zone.
I highly recommend Jo’s classes and will be signing up for another class
