Jo Tunmer
Jo grew up in London and thrives on the anonymity and comparative privacy that living in a city offers. In response to her urban surroundings she creates hand-pulled solarplate etchings of views of the city that often focus on a solitary figure. In comparison, her oil paintings express a romantic, utopian notion of the land.
Since 2013 Jo has focused on printmaking. In 2018, alongside running her art practice, she completed a Master’s Degree with distinction in Fine Art Printmaking from Anglia Ruskin University. This period of study enabled Jo to experiment further with wood cut printmaking techniques and fine art installation.
Jo originally trained in Interior Design and Furnishing Textiles, before pursuing a career within the corporate sector. Returning to the arts in the millennium she has now been a self-employed professional Visual Artist for more than a decade. Alongside her practice Jo is an Artist Facilitator at Kettle's Yard, teaches oil painting and printmaking privately and mentors students studying for GCSE and A level Art exams.
Commissioned work includes many pieces for Addenbrooke's Arts, Cambridge, and more recently a print commission for the new Cambridge Building Society central offices.
