Private collection, Melbourne
Thence by descent

Jo was an important figure of her time and she spent her early years studying under Bernard Hall and Frederick McCubbin at the National Gallery School. She was involved in the Victorian Artists' Society, but her increasing support for Max Meldrum and the tonalist school led her to be ousted from the group along with her friend and fellow artist A.M.E. Bale. She was also heavily involved in the development of the artist community of Warrandyte in Melbourne, and in her later years, built her home next door to Clara Southern.
