Jo Budd (fl. 1980–present) is an English artist specialising in creating art from textiles. She was trained as a fine artist, and her work could be described as quilt art, though it also frequently contains collage or printing elements.

Biography

Josephine Budd was born in 1961 in Norwich.[citation needed] She completed her Fine Art education in Newcastle University, then began practising her art and teaching at places like West Dean College. She is known for her art work using quilts, collage and printing. She has also used fabrics that she hand-dyed, using materials such as rust.

Budd has worked on commissions, and her work is in collections such as the Victoria and Albert Museum. Budd's use of landscape in her work led Edexcel to recommend her as an artist for British Art and Design GCSE students to study in 2010.

In 2024 she was involved, and her work was exhibited in a shop in Fakenham.

Private life

Budd lives near the Norfolk and Suffolk border with her partner, Brian Excell. She has one son.
