ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

I asked Jo what she enjoyed most about being an artist in Paris, she replied, “There are a lot of talented artistic people living here. Amy Walsh-Harris and I did an art show last summer, and lots of people came It was a great experience I had a lot of good conversations with everyone. I wasn't sure what kind of a reaction I was going to get, since my work is a little left-of-centre, but everyone seemed to like it ”

Jo has written four books, which include her poetry and paintings. Three of her books are available on Amazon: “Dancing Down Entropy Street”, “Echoes in the Void”, and “Nosferatu - The Vampire's Circus” She’s currently working on her fifth book and is busy writing every day.
