Jo Ann Rothschild is an abstract painter living in Boston Massachusetts. Her first meaningful encounter with visual art came at 3 when she saw a painting on glass by the American artist Irene Pereira, and was fascinated by the layering. She is the first winner of the Maud Morgan Purchase Prize of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
“I care about touch. I want evidence of the human. Although I am primarily an abstract artist, I draw the figure, drew my mother in her last year, and paint myself as I age. I am interested in history, in one layer seen through another. Much of my work evolves over years. Since time can play an important part in my work, many pieces are named for the date finished.” - Jo Ann Rothschild, 2021
