Born 1963 in York, England.
Widely travelled as a child.
Began recording with first camera at the age of fourteen.
Processing and printing her own work.
An artistically important visit to Australia in 1990 confirmed a predilection for landscape photography and many exhibitions, commissions and awards have followed.
Initially self taught, Jo later spent many years as a traditional full time camera assistant working with photographers mostly on location.
Jo continues to record her travels and daily life and acknowledges that she is fascinated with light and a sense of place.
Although digital technology now plays a larger part in her work, Jo's preference for mechanical cameras, manual lenses and film, form an important aspect to 'capturing an image'. "There's nothing like the alchemy of a dark box containing a light sensitive material that requires firstly light and secondly chemistry to reveal the beauty of the photographic image."
