Come in and sit, sip, eat and create art at Jo's delightfully exuberant bank studio. She has boldly painted Gilbert's 19th Century Union National Bank with its rich history, and created a playhouse for Jo to create, teach and play surrounded by her fashionably colorful and highly energized artwork.

Do you or a family member want to learn to paint with watercolors, sculpt with clay, and melt (slump) acrylic sculptures? Take one of Jo's classes beginning in January.
