Jo ellis

Jo is a London based Chinese artist who came to the United Kingdom in 1970. In her earlier years in Hong Kong and South Korea she studied traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy. Later on while studying art and design in London she developed her own quirky style of creating artworks with mixed media on canvas and paper. Mixing both eastern and western techniques and styles often results in unusual interpretations of familiar subjects.

Jo has also lived in New Zealand, Sudan, Tanzania, Pakistan, South Korea, Egypt and Bosnia & Herzegovina. Her artistic perspective is informed by these extensive travels and diverse experiences, and often inspired by the beautiful old cities and towns she has encountered in her journeys, the essence of which she seeks to express in her work.
