I have always been inspired by the Welsh landscape, the wild seas of the north Pembrokeshire coast and the rugged profiles of the Brecon beacons. Colour is so important to me, building on colour theory of the french Fauves and the impressionist. I love using texture to create atmosphere.

Crickhowell open studios this year I will be at Venue 15 (The Trading Post cafe) on Saturday and Sunday. On Monday I will be joining the makers (venue 14) as well as selling my paintings at art fairs and galleries. I run workshops in my painting techniques.

Jo is a basketmaker and ecologist and is passionate about the natural environment.

Jo farmed on Bardsey Island for 11 years - it was during the long isolated winter months that she explored weaving with willow from the withy beds, which were traditionally used to make lobster pots. Jo now lives on mainland Llyn, and basket making is an important part of the rhythm of her life.

She loves using locally sourced materials to produce baskets that are useful, beautiful, sustainable and that reflect the coastal landscape, either through their shape, weave, or by incorporating shells, rope and driftwood.

Jo runs regular workshops throughout the year, visit her website for further details.
