The studio is Georgian and set behind the café in beautiful Oaks Park, 5 minutes walk away from The Mayfield Lavender fields near Banstead in Surrey.

Jo was raised in Norfolk and loves Nature and the countryside. She loves to paint local scenes inspired by her local walks such as Nonsuch Park, Carshalton Ponds and the Lavender fields. She has a large selection of cards and limited edition giclee prints. She also produces beautiful handmade textile products such as bespoke cushions and scarves from her original artworks. They make wonderful gifts.
