It all begins with an idea—a spark of inspiration that grows into something bigger. For Jo Hemmings, that spark has always been creativity. From an early age, she was drawn to experimenting with different materials, exploring textures, and pushing the boundaries of traditional art forms.

Jo’s passion lies in mixed media, where she brings together acrylics, oils, inks, enamels, fabrics, and collage to create unique, layered pieces. She thrives on the freedom to explore, combining found and repurposed materials to add depth and meaning to her work. Sustainability and reinvention are at the heart of her creative process, making each piece not just a work of art but a reflection of her values.

Beyond the studio, Jo finds joy in sharing her love for art with others. As a dedicated primary school art teacher, she believes creativity is essential for self-expression and growth. Whether she’s guiding young minds or bringing her own ideas to life, Jo is always creating—because for her, art isn’t just something she does; it’s who she is.
