Meet Jo

Jo Morton is a studio artist, living in the Pacific Northwest with her husband Kirk. She’s always been a deeply creative person, passing ornate notes in elementary school and doodling on the corner of grocery lists. She honed her creativity and skill, all while raising four kids in eight different states.

Known for her bold use of color and pattern, Jo looks at the world through a whimsical lens. She is able to capture the most charming aspects of any scene. Her subject matter varies from landscapes, to florals, to cityscapes, and everything in between. Jo is inspired by her extensive travel, historic architecture, and the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
