Gallery

Jo Ostien’s show, Evolve, will be featured in the Gallery at The Space On Main for the months of November and December 2023.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT
As a self-taught artist, my works include the use of acrylics, watercolor, pastel, oil and gouache. As with anything, art is a process and a rewarding accomplishment has been challenging myself in creating more detailed seascapes, landscapes, birds, floral and abstract paintings. Applying the paint to the canvas with a palette knife is an artistic style I have embraced.

ARTIST’S BIO
As an artist residing in Bradford, Vermont – the joy of Art always inspired me and has led me to this journey of painting pieces of art for others to enjoy. Many of my early pieces have been created with the cool blue palette of the ocean and seascapes showing water movement. It is my belief working with the various mediums and techniques provides me with a path that I am able to explore art with more direction.

I have evolved as an artist through the inspiration and encouragement of an artist friend and from various artists whose work I relate to.

Individual pieces of my work have been on display and sold at Sparrow Art Supply (Middlebury, VT) and in private collections throughout CT, MA, DC, FL, OK, UT and VT
