Jo Lillywhite is a contemporary British landscape artist based in Oxfordshire. She creates colourful semi-abstract paintings inspired by the woods, fields and changing seasons of the Chilterns countryside and beyond.

Each painting is designed to draw the viewer into the scene, creating a connection with nature and a unique, colourful focal point that adds mood, atmosphere and joy to any room.

My new painting, ‘Sundown Ferns’ has been selected for this exhibition

A painting of the beech woodlands near Checkendon as the sun was going down in Summer. Painted by Oxfordshire artist, Jo Lillywhite. She was inspired by the warm light filtering through the foliage of the trees and catching the tops of the beautiful ferns covering the forest floor.

Hi, I’m Jo Lillywhite

Using vibrant layers of paint, I create colourful landscapes that celebrate light, depth and atmosphere. Rather than simply painting what I see, I use colour to capture how a place feels – whether it’s the calm of a woodland walk, the warmth of summer sun or the moment the seasons are changing into the next episode of the year.

My hope is that every painting invites you to imagine yourself in the landscape and bring a little of the joy and tranquility of nature into your home.

Whether you’re looking for an original painting, a fine art print or simply enjoy exploring the countryside through art, I’m delighted you’ve found my work.
