Jo LoCurto - About The Artist

Having been born in Brooklyn and raised in Queens, this New York native moved to Colorado in 1988 where she continues to draw upon the inspiration and unique beauty of her natural surroundings. Jo's passion for art has been a driving force throughout her life, a force that gives her inner peace and connects her to the universe. This passion is reflected in Jo's work as she weaves together dream images and symbols to portray the innerconnectedness of life as reflected in nature and natural life cycles.

Handscapes created by Jo are very intimate expressions of each individual they are created for. The unique Handscape is comprised of that individuals interests and based on a color palette defined by the individual. Each hand has its own unique shapes and lines.

Jo finds the images and symbols representative of the individual in those shapes and lines of the palm, weaving them together to tell the story of a life. What develops is a montage of imagery brought out through the natural characteristics of the palm, capturing in this small space the universe of experience that makes up a life.
