I’m Jo, a landscape painter and mum of three, based in Amsterdam.

Nature is where I go to breathe. I love northern landscapes and high mountains for their contrasts: soft light and open space, but also a wild, raw energy.

I don’t see the world in sharp focus, and my paintings don’t either. Edges blur and colours drift into one another, so I paint how a landscape feels rather than every detail.

My studio sits right in the middle of family life: lovely, loud and wonderfully chaotic. When everything around me is moving, painting is where I find stillness, working in oil with palette knife and brush. That mix of calm and energy is what I try to bring into every painting at Ateljé Jo.

I hope one of my paintings brings a little of that feeling into your home, a breath of fresh air every time you walk past it.

If something catches your eye, or you’d just like to say hello, I’d love to hear from you.
