Jo has always enjoyed drawing, but her passion began with a watercolor class in the early nineties.  Since then Jo has developed a passion for watercolor and has enjoyed a continuous journey of creative development in her preferred medium.  She has taken numerous painting courses in the US as well as workshops in France, Holland, and Bermuda.  She has studied with well-known watercolor artists, Skip (William) B Lawrence, Joe Mayer, Tony Couch, Terry Madden, Janet Rogers, Kay Kandra, Carolyn Gawarecki, and a number of others through the years. 

Jo has been invited to participate in juried art shows and has won several awards for her art in the Annapolis and Washington DC area. She recently completed a project for Tampa General Hospital's new Neo Natal Unit to supply artwork for the signage in the new 82 room unit. All of the directional signs and hallways are named after Florida animals. Each hallway is themed and portrayed by a Jo Lynch Painting. 

She currently donates a portion of her sales to help various animal charities and shelters.  Most years she donates several paintings to animal groups to sell during fundraisers.  A donated piece of Jo’s work is also hanging in the Marine Science Center in Ponce Inlet, Florida.

She is currently a member of the Art League of Daytona Beach and she continues to paint every day, and loves it.
