Jo Fernandez
Jo Fernandez is a landscape artist living in the historic village of Millthorpe, in the Central Tablelands of NSW. Her work is inspired by the landscape of this region - the expanses of land and sky, distinct seasons and their impact on light and colour.
Jo's works are representational of a landscape that is personal and close to home. Seeking elements of the landscape that she responds to emotionally, she isolates the core significance and uses colour and tone to accentuate nature. Her use of glazing - applying thin layers of transparent oil paint - results in a luminosity in her finished works.
Known for her cloudscapes, her works invite us to pause, reflect and restore a sense of our place in nature. "My aim is to capture the illusive quality of light and evoke an atmospheric sense of place."
