Jo March was born in 1962 in Cornwall. Her young childhood was spent growing up in the South West of England on the family farm in the small Cornish moorland village of Darite. She studied at Sheffield University reading English and European History. She eventually returned to Cornish countryside and commenced painting. A self taught artist she is now recognised as one of the many gifted living artists in Cornwall.

Jo March's early childhood, spent in the beautiful and magical Cornish landscape, and the many people that she met remains a constant influence in her choice of subject and how she creates the landscapes in her art works. Inspiration for Jo's paintings is often drawn from the environment and the people of her childhood. She has abiding fascination with the eccentricities which exist just below the surface of rural life and in particular the characters that she observed in Cornwall whilst growing up.

Modern life is gradually and inexorably eroding age-old patterns of life and systems of belief. Jo March landscape paintings are an attempt to capture the essence of the bucolic farm land which has hitherto changed so little in Cornwall.

In addition to Red Rag modern art gallery Jo March art work has been exhibited at other leading British Art Galleries.
