Jo Fleming Smith

I am a multidisciplinary artist, with an MA in Contemporary Art Practice from Edinburgh College of Art, working primarily in painting and installation.

My work consists of immersive installation, large scale abstract canvases alongside smaller works on paper, canvas and board.

Inspired by nature, my work follows the field of abstraction. I work with spontaneity and chance, exploring saturation of colour, layering, staining, using calligraphy, scrawl and repetition of mark.

My current work investigates personal experience, reflecting on the transience and fragility of life through the panorama of changing skies, the power and beauty of the landscape and my inter connectedness to it.

Having recently moved to Derbyshire to set up my home studio I have experienced the recent spate of storms beginning with Storm Agnes. Nestled openly in the landscape the weather has been wild and wet. My work responds to this, constantly exploring the changing light and colour.

My studio will be open 11am – 4pm for visits on the following days:

• Saturday May 4th
• Sunday May 5th
• Monday May 6th

Meet the artist and see my work nestled in my light and airy studio at the bottom of Lose Hill.
