An inner-west alum, Jo Shand’s work exists in the layers of our community – the dark, the deranged, the joyous and the quirky, all are rendered in the unsettling beauty of her art. This work strays into a more ephemeral layer, that of the need to escape…. Now based in Newcastle, Jo’s work has been exhibited all over Australia, including Salon de Refuses (S.H. Ervin), Mosman/North Sydney art prizes, as a finalist in the City of Villages art prize, and her work is in collections nationally.
