Jo Gershman has illustrated over thirty books, both for children and adults, and exhibits regularly in galleries. Jo’s paintings are full of pattern, color, and complexity in watercolor. Her favorite illustration subjects are animals, although her book illustrations range from ballet dancers to fairy horses. Her gallery exhibits feature still lifes inspired by a passion for food, from simply glorious fruits and vegetables to well-prepared dishes elegantly served. She also loves teaching watercolor and encouraging a sense of wonder in the possibilities of this versatile medium. Examples of her work can be found at www.jogershman.com
