Jo Gamel

Jo Gamel, a Philadelphia-based artist, draws
inspiration from her multi-faith upbringing and
global religious symbols, fostering a deep
interest in the divine designs of reverence. A
neurological ailment impacting her left eye led
her to delve into unique ethereal perceptions of
color through vanitas oil paintings.
Now, Gamel is merging her spirituality, and
perception of color with reverence for female
creatives in her "Rock Goddesses" painting
series. This commitment has earned her
accolades, including excellence awards, study
grants for global holy sites, community honors, and a residency at The Governor’s School TCNJ.
Her works have secured scholarships and top
exhibition prizes nationwide.
Having taught at institutions like Moore College
and Science Leadership Academy, she's also the
brain behind art foundations and CEO of Tutor of
the Arts LLC, with a curatorial role at Crown of
Creation PHL. She champions the divine
feminine creative essence in everyone.
Gamel honed her expertise at Sotheby's Institute
of Art, under Ekaterina Popova, and at
institutions like PAFA and Florence Academy of
Art. A Moore College BFA graduate, she pursued
a master's degree in art therapy in Seattle.
Outside visual arts, Gamel is making music with
her band, Jüpiter, centered on powerful women
from history. This album will feature an illustrated
libretto. Concurrently, she's co-penning a
textbook with Dr. Michael Mackay, exploring oil
paint's intricate science.
