Jo brenzo

Jo Brenzo is the owner/curator of Photographic Gallery SMA, the hub for photographers in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Exhibitions are changed eight times a year. Local and visiting photographers meet weekly each Saturday at 11 am to discuss topics of interest, view demonstrations or see the work of visiting photographers. Before opening the Gallery in 1997, Jo was the professor of photography for two decades at Bellas Artes, the national art school of Mexico where she introduced photography as a fine art to the public. "Seeing deeply is impossible without feeling deeply," is Jo's message to photographers starting out. San Miguel is widely known for its vibrant community of visual artists. Jo has managed galleries, taught photography, and exhibited her work throughout the United States, Europe and Mexico. Her formal education began through the Fine Arts department at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, where she majored in photography. She still provides special photography classes and leads serious traveling workshops throughout Latin America.   

Jo is currently looking for emerging and established fine art photographers for gallery representation and solo exhibitions. She is interested in analog and alternative processes as well as digital photography. She wants to see personal projects and in-depth portfolios, as well as work in progress.
