I’m Jo, an artist with a shop in the Fish Market called Jo’s Painted Pebbles. I hand-paint gifts including pebbles, candle holders, and scallop shells with intricate mandala-inspired designs. I also paint fun coasters, signs, and bottles, and I create colourful bead hangings.

Alongside my artwork, I’ve published several books, most notably Art on Scallop Shells and Shells of Jersey – 20 of the Most Popular Finds on the Beaches of Jersey.

I’ve also set up Herd of Jersey, where I paint little pebbles inspired by the famous Jersey cow and invite people to take them on their travels. Each cow pebble has its own number and chosen name. To date, I’ve painted over 750, and they’ve been photographed as far afield as Indonesia, China, Ecuador, and Australia. Their adventures can be followed on Facebook and Instagram, and there’s an interactive map on my website showing where all the cows have travelled.
I’m always happy to customise gifts. For enquiries, please pop into the shop, send me a private message on Facebook, or email me at herdofjersey@gmail.com.
