My work

About

Also known by my initials JOT, I am an award-winning environmental artist from North Yorkshire who turns unwanted material into something creative and unique. I give talks about my form of art and I run workshops which take place at Fishpond Wood, Bewerley where I am artist in residence. My workshops also take place at other venues and online.

I am a Tree Council Ambassador who became a COP26 One Step Greener Ambassador in 2021 when I received an invitation to Downing Street and to COP26 Glasgow. A letter from the Prime Minister recognises my artwork in relation to COP26 and to the fundraising I have done through my artwork.

In December 2022 I opened my first art gallery in my home town of Pateley Bridge. Earlier this year I was pleased to receive a Highly Commended award in the under 30 category of the Stray Ferret Business Awards.

Since appearing on Gardener’s World last year I have started selling my artwork overseas. I have been asked to write a book about my life, my autism and my artwork by a London publishing house.
