Artist Jo Sinclair BA Hons , PGCE, SpLd

Jo Sinclair studied Graphic design and illustration at Bath Academy of Art and the Cooper Union, New York.

She has spent many years teaching Literacy and English Language skills in Primary and Secondary schools. She has also taughtAdult and children’s art classes. She now lives in Hertfordshire with her husband and dog Sid, but enjoys spending time painting the landscape of East Anglia, and other subjects.

Jo is passionate about the magic of pure watercolour, but works on larger acrylic and oil paintings, landscapes, townscapes, marine subjects, and portraits. She works in a lively, colourful, modern impressionistic style, capturing light, mood and the essence of place.

She has exhibited and sold paintings at exhibitions and galleries in East Anglia, and has previously been accepted twice at the Mall gallery open watercolour exhibition and once at the Bankside.Jo enjoys working directly from the landscape, but also works on commissions.

She has been recently working on larger commissions of particular destinations which can be shipped in a tube ready for self -stretching. If you would like a particular destination painted in this way, please contact her. Also, if you would like a particular flower or destination included in your stationery, for example weddings, she can offer a bespoke service. This can be sent digitally to you ready for printing. Please contact her for prices.
