About the Artist
My name is Jo March and I’m a self-taught painter. I’ve been making some kind of living through my work since 1986, based in Cornwall, the county where I grew up.
My work is figurative and essentially nostalgic, and both celebrates the memory, and mourns the loss of older, simpler ways of living in rural Britain.
The paintings explore patterns of landscape but also our innate emotional responses to ideas of ‘home’ and the right to roam to and from it. I admit I am sentimental, especially regarding animals, and in my imaginary land they always enjoy life, as should be their right.
My paintings invariably have a narrative element and, I hope, contain elements of individual short stories that the viewer might enjoy reading for themselves.
