About Jo:
New Jersey-based painter and printmaker Jo Guscott produces scenic outdoor images that appeal to the senses. With a rich artistic heritage, Guscott's upbringing was immersed in creativity, stemming from a family lineage of diverse talents, including a Washington Post cartoonist, accomplished painters, and graphic designers. This legacy shaped Guscott's own artistic journey from an early age.
After three decades of teaching high school special education and nurturing a family, she transitioned to pursuing her passion for art. She honed her skills through studio classes in oil painting at The Perkins Institute in Moorestown, NJ, and the Ocean County Artists Guild in Island Heights, NJ, supplementing her learning with online courses from Lightscapes Studio. Additionally, she shares her expertise by teaching printmaking at the Ocean County Artists Guild.
Guscott's artworks grace the walls of local galleries near her home in Pine Beach, NJ, and she is proudly represented by ReFind Gallery in Bay Head, NJ. Actively involved in the artistic community, she is a member of the Toms River Artist Community, the Ocean County Artists Guild, Monmouth Arts, and the Audubon Artists in New York City. Her talents have garnered recognition, including several local awards and a notable second-place accolade in the graphics category at the 2023 Audubon Artists Juried show.
