Jo Dewar

How would you describe the work you do and why?

I love to experiment with all mediums to incorporate into my work. When I paint I am aware of the everyday and observe things I live with and express them in my own style. I love textiles and that comes out in my work whether as a collage or mark making, using acrylics and some form of printing.

For you what does being an artist mean?:

Being an artist is my life. There is never a time when I am not drawing something, making something and finding out new processes that I could possibly use in my work. I have huge pleasure in sharing my processes in my workshops and guarantee it to be a fun experience with no preconceptions which produce the most amazing results.

I am a mixed media artist using textiles, paint, pastels and print.
