Here you can read about photographer Jo Halpin Jones' career and travels.
For the past 30 years Jo Halpin Jones has lived in West Norfolk, bringing to an end a more nomadic existence in London, East Africa and Canada. Her photographic travels, however, still keep her on the move, to Australia, New Zealand, Nepal, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, the USA, Morocco, Iceland, Istanbul, and widely around Europe and the UK. Whenever it is physically possible, she and her husband, Dick, travel in a VW campervan, such as on recent trips to Morocco and Iceland.
After working in publishing, marketing, and then Social Services, a two-year photographic course from 2000 to 2002 finally tipped a lifetime's hobby into a serious professional career. Jo now holds regular exhibitions of landscape, seascape and abstract photography at the Carter Gallery in Great Bircham, West Norfolk, which she has helped to set up. Pieces of her work are also at other galleries around East Anglia.
Jo Halpin Jones also has environmental and natural history images at the Frank Lane Picture Agency.
Jo has been invited to exhibit work at various competitive Open Exhibitions such as Norwich Castle, South Holland, and the West Norfolk Artists Association, with which she is closely involved. She was a prize-winner in the national "Focus" competition, presented at the House of Commons. In June 2006 Jo was featured in the Anglia TV series "Coastal Inspiration". She has regularly participated in Norfolk Open Studios and has represented her region on the Steering Committee.
