Jo Ellen Van Ouwerkerk is a surrealist artist residing in New York City, and is represented by Woodward Gallery on the Lower East Side. Her work is known for its focus on capturing intimate, 'frozen moments'—akin to individual frames in a continuous film of a person’s life, encapsulated during various rituals.[1]
Van Ouwerkerk’s artistic inspiration is drawn from a diverse array of influences, such as The Police Gazette, Mexican ex-votos, Victorian aesthetics, and Surrealist traditions.[2] Her distinctive style has been exhibited in various galleries and featured in numerous publications, where her work has been praised for its capacity to elicit deep emotional responses.
She is married to Bruce Silverglade, the owner of the historic Gleason's Gym in New York City.[3]
