Jo Mitchell Long is a British painter working primarily in acrylics. With a background in graphics and media, her practice combines bold structure with expressive brushwork, resulting in paintings that are both contemporary and atmospheric.

Her current body of work focuses on the rituals of dining - the table as a stage for memory, connection, and celebration. Through vibrant still lifes of lemons, glasses, bottles, and patterned cloths, she transforms familiar objects into symbols of modern iconography. A sliced lemon suggests freshness and anticipation; a candle signals intimacy; a bottle anchors the table like a presence.

For Jo, still life is never still. Each painting hums with energy, inviting the viewer to pause and recognise the beauty of everyday rituals - those shared moments of hospitality and gathering that resonate across cultures and time.
