In 2025 Jo was commissioned by art curator Despina to create a bespoke watercolour for the parlour at the newly designed Crafted at Powdermills, an ambitious new members’ club and retreat in the East Sussex countryside.

”A traditional portrait with a contemporary feel.

Jo Dumpleton offers a fresh perspective. Beautiful intricate pencil drawings and watercolours, inspired by18th century portraits and vintage photographs which she uses as source material, her focus zooms in on elements and details creating a compelling and contemporary narrative. Authentic, considered and richly layered.” - House of Dre.
