Jos originally trained as a
sculptor gaining both a BA Hons in Fine Art in 1974 and a Master of Fine
Art Degree in 1976 at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne.
She was awarded the Boise
Travelling Scholarship (used to visit West coast of Ireland and Arran
Is) in 1976. In following years she exhibited
her large scale sculpture in group and solo shows in the North and
London. One of her sculptures was sited in Grizedale Forest Cumbria.
In recent years she has turned
to canvas, painting the raw moods of northern land and seascapes.
Frequent expeditions to islands off the stormy west coast of Scotland
have given rise to a passionate and powerful body of work. Her latest
paintings also draws inspiration from trekking in Nepal, Greenland and
New Zealand.
