Jo Conteh

When I was about 9 years old my parents bought me an easel and to tell the truth I have felt like an artist ever since. After completing a degree in Interior design in Glasgow I moved to London, married and worked as a designer of bespoke conservatories for over 25 years. Amongst others, my clients have included Harry Enfield, Lord Putnam, the Marquis of Bath and Freddie Mercury. But I was always painting!

I finally completed my degree in fine art at the Open College of Art in 2012 and have since had success in exhibiting and selling my work throughout the UK and in Utah since moving to the States in 2014.

I am fascinated by the natural world in all its seasons, shapes, textures and colors. I am never happier than when I am down in my studio playing like that 9-year-old with all my papers, paints, scissors and glue. I hope you enjoy the opportunity to view my work
