Josephine Wall is an English born artist who currently resides in the seaside community of Dorset, England.

She specializes in mystical, surreal-like, fantasy paintings. She often strives to impart a message in her

scenes, she also hopes to inspire in her audience, a personal journey into the magical world of their own

imagination. Enchanting and detailed images cascade freely from her fertile imagination in an endless flow

of ideas.

Jo Wall mostly works with acrylic paint, which allows her to paint quickly and to create many textured and

colorful effects. She has been influenced and inspired by the illustrative talents of Arthur Rackham, the

surrealism of artists such as Magritte and the romanticism of the pre-Raphaelittes. This combined with her

own imaginative ideas, has led to a wide and varied range of work.

"The art of painting is more than a career to me," she says. It's an all consuming obsession and a love of

color and form. "In fact if I am away from my easel for too long I become restless and anxious to paint again.

" Josephine Wall is also an accomplished sculptor and has created a number of unique figurines. Using

natural stones she finds locally, various modeling materials and semi-precious stones she creates designs

that challenge the viewer to find the point where the stone ends and begins.

Jo Wall has an amazing passion for light, color and visual story-telling. The images created on canvas are so

intricate and intertwined with color and story that it can take many viewings of a completed work of art to

see all that is built into the scenes. Josephine is a gracious and gifted artist whose perception of the world

is without limitations. She asks, "Why not?" Therefore, she can see many possibilities and expresses the

sincere enthusiasm she has for life in her work. The life of a painter was clearly her destiny!
