16Jo Walton
75 Albert Rd
Jo’s work is abstract inspired by horizons, seas and big skies which she experienced growing up in the red land of Australia, sailing oceans in her 20’s, working on yachts – continuously fighting the rust… She has a fascination with rust and metals in their own right.
She works with rusted metal, texture, copper, verdigris, silver and gold metal leaf, which is sometimes combined with a sky-scape painted onto ply cradles, at 3 cm deep. The work is unframed from 20cm to 100cm.
Jo is a Fine Art graduate from Bradford University 2002 and has her own art studios in York.
