I'm Jo, an Artisan from Vancouver Canada. Website: peaceofpi studio

Peace-nik Canadian creating in paint and stitch.

Art & craftwork celebrates the handmade touch and reflects the struggle to find freedom from materialist values and consumerist culture.

Working in acrylics & mixed media, paintings are highly textured observing the beauty of wear, aging and imperfection. Ideas are often expressed in abstract form inviting thoughtfulness and dialogue.

A passion for paint also translates to textiles & embroidery, painting fabric and creating imperfect & tattered pieces with hand sewing.

Birds feature prominently to symbolize both the commonplace and the mysterious.

Handmade objects are undeniably human, the opposite of the homogeneity of mass produced goods.

Work is mostly smaller scale - from 2 inches up to about 12, sometimes going wild with a 16 or 24 inch piece.


Die-hard fan of acrylic paints & way too knowledgeable about glues.

Studio practice is to recycle and use non-toxic, environmentally friendly materials.



Connecting with folks from far and wide is awesome. For the patient & generous, I can usually stumble my way through about 6 languages.
Diversity rules.

It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors. Diversity of opinion about a work of art shows that the work is new, complex, and vital. When critics disagree, the artist is in accord with [her]self. ~Oscar Wilde
