Jo loved Mario’s. And she loved art. It filled her life, and her flat. You couldn’t move for art on the walls, on the floor, it was everywhere. She bought whatever art she could, whenever she could, mostly from the charity shops of North London. Here’s a small glimpse of her collection - beautiful, eccentric, intriguing, like the woman herself.

Jo was always in the charity shops of Kentish Town and Highgate. Hope what you see inspires you to visit a charity shop and buy some art or make a donation – sales will definitely be down since they lost one of their best customers.

Jo Ann Hodges. June 5 1959 – July 25 2017.
