Art by Jo 2.02

A man once taught me at a very young age, ”draw what you see, not what you think you see”, that man was my Grandad, and that message has served me well. I am self taught, I have no formal qualifications, this is my hobby, and I thoroughly enjoy it.
I have been pursuing my hobby since 2008 when we moved to Locks Heath, our home is my showcase!. I have attended informal art classes and art workshops run by local artists to the area, and received lots of encouragement with my work from my artist colleagues, friends and family.
I have tried lots of different mediums, but have settled on graphite and colour pencils, although I continue to experiment. I always use professional, high quality materials for durability and longevity.
My artwork and greeting cards have been well received as gifts and commissions, and retailers have sold my cards in bespoke venues.

Services provided
My art is varied as you will see when you look at my portfolio, although I do like portraits. Portraits are completed from reference photos.
Some of my artwork is used to produce a range of greeting cards, I would be happy to sell any of my cards, or if you wish, create your own bespoke personal card for your own use, perhaps a wedding invite, christening, general notecard, options are endless, and then it’s up to you to get them printed (or this can be arranged to your cost)
