Jo Baker
In her youth, Jo Baker studied dance and loved designing and creating clothing with her mother, a dressmaker. Jo later became a model and dance teacher. Following an illness in 2017, she revisited her love of art and design, studying various forms and igniting a life-changing spark.
Having discovered a unique way to reinvent an ancient reverse painting technique - ‘Verre Églomisé’ - Jo began to paint fish, initially as an homage to her late father, a keen fisherman. A singular ‘feisty fish’ pushing against the current began to emerge in each piece; Jo soon realised she was telling her own story of struggle. Jo feels her work has become a way to celebrate our inner strengths and self-determination.
