Jo Davis is a visual artist that tends to make paintings. Her intuitive approach to art-making prioritizes process over product, embracing experimentation and discovery.
Personal experiences of profound loss have shaped Jo’s artistic practice, making painting both a refuge and a means of exploration. Her work serves as a dynamic companion, reflecting themes of resilience, interconnectedness, and transformation.
Jo has exhibited in galleries in New York City, San Francisco, and Panama City. Her painting was featured on the cover of McSweeney's Quarterly Concern, Issue 16, and she was a finalist for the El Prisma de la Vida design competition at the Biomuseo in Panama City, Panama. She recently completed an artist residency at EyStudio! Madrid. Jo lives in a house in the woods of Lancaster, PA, with her three teenage daughters, their dog, and a thriving collection of plants.
