Jo Bird

Jo bird is a local artist specialising in ink paintings.

For Jo, art is emotion how she feels when creating a piece and how people feel when they see it is important, but either way, different pieces evoke different emotions in different people, exactly as it should be. Jo’s inspiration comes from her emotional response to life around her. Sights, sounds, smells, textures, shapes, colours, anything that makes her ‘feel’ is fair game for her creativity.

Jo lives in the home counties in the UK and has always been immersed in art, but for decades it was no more than a hobby… Until it wasn’t. Describing herself as a logical creative Jo’s love of the sciences often shows through in her work as she gives the subject her own creative twist.

Although mostly self-taught Jo does have a foundation degree in art and design. She works in a variety of media but her favourites are ink, watercolour and pencil and a lot of her work has a design element to it.

Jo maintains her creativity by producing an art journal around a different theme each week. All works are available as prints in a variety of sizes. Jo is more than happy to discuss commissions, bespoke book covers or personal designs.
