Jo is a native of central California.  She retired from a successful real estate career and moved to the beautiful Skagit Valley to be near family and to pursue her passion for photography full time. Jo’s love affair with the Pacific Northwest began over 40 years ago after visiting the area.  Her inspiration comes from the abundant beauty that surrounds us.

Jo is also an author and a photography instructor at A Guilded Gallery and she hopes to resume classes in the very near future.  She also plans field trips to interesting destinations throughout the year.
