Jo Lester
by Cecilia
I try to persuade each artist to write their own profile as
I do not know them all equally. However, I feel I must make an exception
for Jo as there is no way she is going to find time to either write a profile
or to supply the correct titles and descriptive notes for these works of
art. When I was last speaking to Jo she was juggling her daytime hours
milking cows, raising calves, mending fences, digging out thistles, feeding
her children, trying to do her Versals homework and numerous other activities.
Jo has been producing her exciting creative work for many years
now and is a prolific prize winner for her efforts. The years she spent
in Japan a while ago do appear to have left their mark. I have always been
surprised with each new work that Jo produces as her brain seems to grasp
such a variety of threads from which to weave her magic. Perhaps it's all
due to the country air (or is it the thistle digging?)
Jo has not even had the chance to view the work which I have
put into her gallery and, trusting soul that she is, has told me to go
ahead and invite you to see it now - the notes will be added at a later
date.
