JO WHITELAND
Batick Artist

Jo discovered her passion for batik whilst working with artists in Kota Baharu
on the east coast of Malaysia. She has developed her own style, repeating motifs
to give the works life, depth and a sense of movement; taking her inspiration
from the natural world. She works on white cotton fabric using traditional wax
pens, wax and dyes building up layers to give depth and colour. Jo lives in Bristol
and has exhibited widely in the West Country and is a member of the Batik Guild.
