about jo mcintyre

Jo McIntyre has been an artist for nearly 40 years. It's only in the past 10 years that she has been a full time artist since moving to Broome, from Sydney, in 1999.

Whilst in Sydney Jo worked in a senior role at the Mitchell Library, a job that took up many hours of her time. She managed to maintain her art output whilst holding down a demaning job but early retirement and a visit to north western Australia rekindled her love of vivid colour and human interaction with nature. As a result much of her work explores this element of life.

Jo works in her studio located in Cable Beach where she also has her own gallery. Her work is also exhibited at the Bay Gallery in Chinatown, Broome, Western Australia.

Her website, which has been under development in recent months features the works in her exhibition "Crunch Time for the Kimberley" along with many other works that Jo has created in recent years. Her work has been categorised into different galleries reflecting the topics the works feature. The different styles displayed in her many works demonstrate Jo's ability to capture the essence of each subject. Her humourous take on some topics is typical of her observation of life and the sometimes quirky outcomes it produces.
