Jo has a great love of her family including her dog Belle and relishes a story around the fire, dancing with friends, the adventure of travel, delights in the beauty of nature and growing a heartfelt, creative and spiritual life.

As a young girl, I would listen to my parents tell stories of their childhood. My imagination was fired by images of far away places and tales that delighted and surprised as we shared special storytelling nights around an open fire, often celebrated with chocolate or homemade cakes.
The magic of storytelling stayed with me, and as I matured I found myself weaving such stories into my life and into my jewellery.Driven by my passion for antique and vintage treasures and coupled with a flair for design and colour, I began working with an eclectic mix of materials from various eras.
I would sense a story emerging. Sometimes the story would embrace the history of the piece or the various stones, crystals and beads. Even the daily events of the world had influence over the crafting of each design.
I soon found that my work resonated with others who shared a perceived beauty in the work and significance in the meaning. People soon expressed the desire to have me provide them with treasures of their own and so Cantadora was born.
