Artist Bio: Joss was born in South Africa and spent 38 years there before moving to the UK.
She turned to art at the age of 58 and has not looked back since.
She creates mixed media art using different textures and techniques including pastels, acrylics, gouache, inks, food colouring and scratching. Her art is heavily influenced by her life in South Africa, and she believes that there is joy and an intensity of love and passion amongst people even in the most difficult of economic situations. She sells her work internationally bringing her vibrant, bold art to a wide audience.
She exhibits regularly in London, including every year at the Mall Galleries Pastel Show and at the Flux Exhibition, and has just been awarded the Mall Galleries Pastel Society Catalogue Award – First Prize.
Her art is now permanently showing in a gallery in Greenwich and St Albans London, and in Laguna Beach California. She also had a successful exhibition in Murcia, Spain in 2017.
She loves life, loves art, and is passionate about producing work that captures the viewers attention, and her art is now owned by many private collectors all over the world.
