ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Celebrated for her watercolor work, Jo-Ann Osnoe moves effortlessly from still life to landscape to florals and local scenes. Expanding recently into oil painting, she has gained recognition in this medium as well, winning First Place in a recent Bucks County art competition. She finds inspiration in nature and her Bucks County surroundings, where she has made her home for the past fifteen years. A dedicated and focused artist, she has exhibited in over one hundred local group shows, including over a dozen juried regional and national exhibitions.

"Ms. Osnoe brings a delicate hand and gentle palette to the rural landscape, casting a wide-angle view of pastoral vistas as well as focusing in on the details of nature. In her more intimate works...
Ms. Osnoe reinforces the meditative aspects of nature, creating works that invite quiet contemplation."
