Jo Dunsmuir - Artist Biography & CV

Jo is an artist painting with oils.
Largely self taught, she experimented with different mediums until falling in love with the rich colour and textural possibilities of oil paint.
Jo lives in coastal south west Victoria, where the beautiful natural environment informs her landscape works.
As a keen gardener, Jo also has a love of still life that documents her home grown flowers, fruit, and carefully collected household objects.
Jo has exhibited in many group shows since 2021, and has been a finalist in several national art prizes.
In 2024, Jo was invited to exhibit at The Inverell Contemporary with seven other artists.
In 2024, Jo held her first solo exhibition, Around The Table, with The Corner Store Gallery (online).
