About

Welcome!

I'm Jo, I've always enjoyed making different kinds of art like drawing, painting, beading, and experimenting with jewelry. I also love reading and playing music. But none of that paid the bills, so I never took it too seriously and made sure I always had a "real" job.

I earned a degree in audio production and spent years working in audio engineering, production manufacturing, and technical coordination. I've always been drawn to the intersection of art and nature and technology. 

This art shop is my decision to take everything I have learned from my experiences over the years and combine it with the work ethic I maintained to keep a steady job, and create my own job for myself. I have lots of ideas and plans in the works for pieces that heavily align with my work background, and some that don't. 

Why on earth did I choose to make bookmarks? I'm a book nerd, I have a book collection that most would think impractical but I don't care. I've always liked to make my own bookmarks, so I thought it would be a great place to start small and work my way up to the more ambitious and expensive projects I have planned. 

Now I am back to working with my hands, blending my experience with my love for art. I make things that combine design, craftsmanship, and technical skill. Whether it is a hand painted bookmark, a light up wood box, or something new I'm already working on, I put the same care and attention into everything I make.

Thanks for taking a look at what I do.

Jo
