JOS’ ODYSSEY

Jos Myers was born in Perth Western Australia and spent her formative years studying music and classical ballet. Jos’ enduring passion however was to express herself through the paint brush.

Her inspiration to this day remains Brett Whiteley. “A Difficult Pleasure” was born.
Jos contemplated studying Fine Arts but instead left home and started painting. A move to Sydney’s northern beaches at eighteen saw her initially painting surfboards and designing surf wear art. She then went to live in Hawaii and in 1992 had her first solo exhibition in Maui. This coincided with the birth of her son Reif.

The lush landscapes and the vibrant colours of Hawaii left an indelible mark on her paintings.
On returning to Perth in 1997 she started her own studio/ gallery Maverick and encouraged other young artists. She has since exhibited in Melbourne and West Australia.

Jos is adamant that her paintings are there, not to be analysed but to be enjoyed visually. The essence of her being is very much “what you see is what you get”. This is reflected on her canvasses and they way she lives her life.

Her subjects range from contemporary urban fantasies to her now famous beach and ocean scenes. All her subjects reflect a sense of fun. The riot of colours cannot be ignored.
