HELLO

My name is Jo and I’m an illustrator based in New Zealand.

I’ve worn many hats over the years including being a graphic designer but eventually decided to follow my heart back to drawing. Now I mostly work with watercolour, ink and pencil which has been a great joy and taken me back to a lifelong love for traditional art and the simple joy of creating off-screen.

I have illustrated two picture books, The Terrakeet and The Frumpling both a collaboration with my school friend and author Jo van der Borgh who loves to write nonsense words.
