:: Biography ::
| Featured Works

Sydney born designer/artist Jo Wooler, has been designing and creating unique wall art and free standing sculptures in marine grade stainless steel since 2002.

All works are made by Jo from conception to ultimate creation. Those investing in Jo’s artwork are assured of an exclusively original investment to last may lifetimes.

Her work may be found in private and corporate collections throughout the world furnishing yachts, airports, hotels, residential dwellings, corporate and commercial offices.

Studying art and design at school, her creativity continued through life, attending art classes and workshops to hone design skills and develop different sculpturing techniques.

Inspiration from years living onboard their yacht fed Jo’s insatiable fascination of sea creatures and passion for all things relating to the sea. Her discovery of stainless steel as a medium through her husband’s yacht building business enabled her to transform many of her beautiful designs into stunning stainless steel sculptures.

She took on a mentorship at a local engineering firm learning the basic techniques of stainless steel fabrication and from there Jo developed her own unique style. Contemporary designs and innovative techniques have been developed by Jo to produce stunning results.

Her affinity with the sea is reflected in her growing repertoire of unique contemporary abstract works, a refreshingly different approach.

She is currently working on a feature wall piece which depicts the famous racing Dhows of Dubai for the Majlis Gallery Dubai, and a free standing Lion Fish to submit in the prestigeous Salon de la Marine at the Musee de la Marine in Paris this November.
