Series

Siren (2022)

This series features women (an extended definition of the word, in order to be as inclusive as possible and to consider stigmas regarding sexuality and transgenderism) who’ve had a history of mental health struggles, and/or a history of feeling oppressed by the stigma of mental health issues and the expectation to “keep it together” in social, familial, and professional settings in spite of these issues.

Purge (2021)

Purge represented an artistic rebirth for the artist during the pandemic after a years-long avoidance of artistic pursuit. Using found materials and old supplies, Jo created a series of abstract mixed media pieces to clear the way for future growth.
