Having grown up in Norfolk, I am inspired by the great British countryside and coastline. My paintings show my love of painting,  colour, creating surface pattern texture and playing with compositions. I mostly paint in oils but also love to combine medias. My range of contemporary botanical prints are a real contrast to my oil paintings. But they also show my absolute passion for nature and love of colour and pattern, thanks to my textiles design background.

You are welcome to visit me in Studio 9, which is set in beautiful Oaks Park, opposite Mayfield lavender fields in North Surrey. I am there for a few hours most days and can often be seen painting outside my studio with my dog Tilly by my side. It is at my studio that I run my children’s art parties and various art classes and workshops. 

If you would like to find out more, please get in touch and subscribe to my monthly newsletter to find out about ‘Open Studio’ events, new products and workshops.  If you can’t get to the studio but are interested in purchasing a gift for someone, why not purchase a Jo Sharpe gift card? It can be put towards art classes and workshops as well as paintings, prints and cushions.

Art, I believe, should be accessible to everyone and that is why I also offer a wide range of art prints in my collection.
