The Eclectic Art
of
Jo Edwards

Once upon a time, deep in the heart of Texas, a little girl was brought to light.  Early on she loved to draw in the dirt with twigs and later with pen or pencil on anything she could find.  She grew up thinking she would spend her life creating beautiful works of art that would make people smile and feel joyful when they looked at them.
But, alas, life took her in different directions as life often will.  She spent many years successfully helping couples find their dream homes.  No matter how hard she worked, there was always something missing in her life.  She began a search that took her from the beaches of Mexico to the hills of Italy and the deserts of Arizona.  Finally one day she sat down again with a  pencil and some paints and realized that what she had been searching for wasn't something outside herself but something within.  It was that need to create beautiful works of art that make people smile and feel joyful when they look at them.
"I call my art eclectic because I'm just as happy standing in front of an easel laying oils on canvas as I am leaning over the edge of a tub pouring watercolors over paper.  It's that peace and joy I feel every time I start or finish a piece that I hope the collector takes along into the home or office environment when choosing to own one of my works."
