Today we feature the art work of British artist Jo March
Jo March was born in 1962 and brought up on a family farm in the small Cornish moorland village of Darite in south east Cornwall.
Jo March’s upbringing, living in the Cornish landscape and the people that she met, is a strong influence on her choice of subject and how she depicts the landscape in her paintings. Inspiration for Jo’s paintings and limited edition prints is often drawn from the environment and the people of her childhood. She has abiding fascination with the eccentricities which exist just below the surface of rural life and in particular the characters that she observed in Cornwall whilst growing up.
Jo March’s paintings and limited edition prints are remarkably individual in outlook and style, drawing inspiration from the stunning Cornish countryside.
Today’s art is a Limited Edition Print from Jo titled ’Hendra’. Hendra is nestled at the head of the idyllic Polperro Valley and has the attributes so loved by locals and visitors in Cornwall. This Jo March Limited Edition Print captures the beaches and Cornish landscape in a quirky fun loving format. A house stands proud over looking the fields of grazing sheep. All is well with the world and although there are no people in the print there is a feeling that they are not far away.
