Jo Dunsmuir is an Australian painter whose practice spans both still life and landscape painting. Working primarily in oils, she creates richly textured artworks that draw inspiration from her home, garden and the coastal environment of regional Victoria.
A lifelong love of drawing eventually led Jo back to art after studying Interior Decoration as an adult. Largely self-taught, she explored a variety of mediums before discovering oil paint, which became the foundation of her current practice.
Jo lives in a small township along Victoria's Great Ocean Road, where the changing landscape, seasonal gardens and everyday objects around her provide a constant source of inspiration. Flowers from her garden, collected vessels, fruit and domestic objects frequently appear in her still life paintings, while the surrounding coastline and countryside inform her landscape work.
Her background in design is reflected in her strong sense of composition and colour, with each painting carefully balanced while retaining a painterly, expressive quality. Whether working in still life or landscape, Jo is interested in creating artworks that feel generous, engaging and full of character.
Since 2021, Jo has exhibited regularly in group exhibitions and has been selected as a finalist in several national art prizes, including exhibitions hosted by The Corner Store Gallery, the Lethbridge 20,000 Art Award and the Waverley Woollahra 9x5 Landscape Prize. Her paintings are held in private collections throughout Australia and internationally.

Jo Dunsmuir, Daffodils, 2025
Oil on linen board, 33x33cm, framed
Jo lives and works in a small Victorian coastal town on the Great Ocean Road. A painter with a love of oils, her work is influenced by the landscapes she experiences, both at home, and on her travels, and by the flowers and produce grown in her home garden. Her work is contemporary in approach, manipulating the qualities of oil paint to achieve a layered surface in her work, sometimes translucent, sometimes with texture.
Jo has been selected as a finalist in many national art prizes since 2021, including several hosted by The Corner Store Gallery, and has exhibited in many group shows. She held a solo with The Corner Store Gallery in 2024, and most recently, a joint exhibition with The Brunswick Street Gallery in Melbourne.
The works submitted reflect the pleasure of the changing seasons, leaving the cold of a Victorian Winter behind - a visit to a favourite coastal town, Yamba, in the beautiful Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, and celebrating the appearance of Daffodils, the first floral harbinger of Spring.
