Who's your tutor?
Jo Beal is a Wiltshire based artist working from her loft studio and being inspired by the countryside, people, places and life in the UK or on travels abroad. In 2015 Beal purposefully reconnected with her own creative interests, primarily through drawing. She loves to draw from observation and to reflect on and capture her daily life through Drawing Diaries.
Beal runs workshops in a range of settings, and online, supporting others to draw through building confidence, teaching new skills and techniques and encouraging a personal exploration and enjoyment of drawing. In contrast she makes carefully observed botanical studies, seeking to capture and emphasise colour, texture and shape. Beal drew from nature 'almost' every day of the year in her 2018 Drawing Diary.
Trained at Chelsea School of Art achieving a BA (Hons) Public Art/Art for Architecture she has since worked on an array of arts projects, from starting out as a volunteer on a community sculpture project in Cumbria to working as an Artist and Project Manager with renowned outdoor arts organisation, Kinetika. She has also worked as a freelance Arts Manager for over 20 years, working in community arts, latterly producing large scale outdoor arts festivals and walking festivals.
