About Jo Lundberg

Surreal Artist, Painter, Upcycled Wood & Portraits

Using the pew as a desk and kneelers as her seat, Jo Lundberg taught herself how to draw portraits during Catholic mass as a child. She never stopped doodling. Jo often up-cycles materials to make her artwork, whether it be wood, bed sheets or wallpaper, highlighting their natural beauty in the composition and creating a duality between new and old, consumption and alchemy. Often described as “surreal,” her work is inspired by the natural world, the sea, Frida Kahlo, phenomenology, anatomy and the personal narratives ingrained in the human condition. Jo has shown along the West coast, including Design For Humanity, an art, music and fashion show sponsored by Billabong at Paramount Studios in LA. Her work is in private and public collections, including St. Charles Medical Center in Bend, Oregon. She is currently designing a car wrap for Smart Car.

When Jo is not at the studio she likes to run amok.
