ABOUT
Jo Pendered is a portrait and figurative artist working mainly in oils. When not fulfilling commissioned portraits she likes painting the human form.
Most of her working life was spent supporting her children as a professional photographer. In 2010 she won a British Institute of Professional Photographers award for promising newcomer in children’s photography.
Like many, the pandemic enabled Jo to revisit painting for the first time since leaving college. Without the constraints of time and demands of paying customers she began to record what was available to her – her own environment, family and friends – and what interested her- the human form, light and shade and the colours within. Jo’s work is very personal and sometimes quite intimate in that it portrays the players in her own life, past and present, and her immediate environment.
Jo has had paintings exhibited in several joint exhibitions in France, and regularly undertakes private portrait commissions.
She lives in the Tarn region of France, where she also runs a chambres d'hotes, Le Moulin d'Alos. www.lemoulindalos.com
