Until
2005 there has only been one way to get hold of Jo's landscapes
- by being transported across the sea by plane, helicopter or boat,
and making your way to the studio at Rocky Hill. This is the alternative.
It's
not quite the real thing, of course - but if just one remembered
sensation of Scilly sneaks up on you in the next few minutes - then
it's been worth the search.
Most visitors
to this site will be familiar with the deserted avenue of ancient
elms leading to the old granite studio at Rocky Hill; and with the
brightness of the pastel landscapes which line the walls, their
lively and unbridled elements twisting and turning.
Perhaps
it's that energy which has brought you here. Probably your reaction
to the extraordinary tranquility of Scilly is the same as her's:
positive, energetic, hopeful; full of clean, clear excitement and
flamboyant colour. Not everyone sees the world that way. But it's
a vision which tends to make people feel better.
So,
although Rocky Hill is as solitary and fixed as you could wish,
Jo's art is always on the move. That's what the website is for -
to keep those of you who value her vision in touch with where she
is now, and where she's going next.
And
for those of you who have stumbled and landed here accidentally
- welcome! Accept this as an invitation to share in the secrets
of Scilly. These colours really do exist - but you do need to come
and experience them for yourself one day.
