Often embracing themes such as hope and loyalty, Jo’s life-affirming paintings attract a strong following. Her striking and unique paintings have bold, cinematic appeal as well as being admired for their distinct colour palette and loose, spontaneous brush work.

Represented by several London galleries and exhibiting widely, including in highly acclaimed solo and group shows, Jo was delighted to receive the prestigious accolade of Royal Arts Prize Visitor’s Choice Award Winner and her joint Award Winners’ Show took place at the Royal Opera Arcade Gallery, Pall Mall, London in March 2020. Jo was one of 30 best selling international artists for the Affordable Art Fair’s summer exhibition in 2021 and featured in their blog called ‘Five Artists You Need to Know’. 

We are delighted to work with Jo here at Artfully Sorted and to place her unique and uplifting works in our client’s homes.

“It’s the mixture of calm beauty and ambiguity throughout all of Jo Holdsworth’s paintings that mesmerises the viewer."

London art critic Tabish Khan 

“Her work evokes, with uncanny semblance, the comings and goings of everyday life. With seemingly effortless brush strokes and a limited colour palette, she crafts an artistic window into quintessentially British scenes".
