Jo Ellis

I was born in Hong Kong and moved to the UK in 1970. I have been travelling around the world ever since, living in New Zealand, Sudan, Tanzania, Pakistan, South Korea, Egypt and Bosnia & Herzegovina. I am now living in London with my family. I studied traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy in Hong Kong and Korea. I then studied art & design in London. I spent most of my life travelling and living in so many diverse places. This experience had had a strong influence on my outlook on life which i try to express in the different styles of my works. I have held solo exhibitions in Seoul, Cairo, Alexandria, Sarajevo, Florida and New York and also exhibited in London at The Mall Gallery, Alexander Llewellyn Gallery, Chelsea Old Town Hall, Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Banqueting House, Orleans House Gallery,The Stable Gallery, Richmond Town Hall and Kingston Museum. I am now regularly showing my works at Contemporary Art Fair in Newbury, Windsor and Surrey.
