Endless Colour: Paintings by Jo West

“I find painting very therapeutic and follow my heart with every painting I do. I have so many ideas in my head, any chance I have, I paint.”

“I love the use of colour and how it can influence how you feel. Colour is nature’s signalling system and I am fascinated how it can affect our behaviour.”

A native Devonian, Jo West is a contemporary artist heavily influenced by her rural upbringing. Having studied Psychology at Cardiff University, Jo is fascinated by how colour, as nature’s signalling system, can influence emotion and behaviour. Captivated by the shimmer of the natural world, Jo uses of acrylics, mixed media, and resin to create her paintings depicting highly embellished flowers.

Jo West will be exhibiting in the Garden Gallery at Artizan in May 2017, as a part of our 2017 Solo Series.

The exhibition will run from 1st – 27th May with a ‘Meet the Artist’ private viewing on 4th May from 6pm to 8pm.

Monday-Saturday 10:30-16:30
