Josephine Caddy (1914 – 2005) was an American-Australian painter and ceramicist, who worked in the media of acrylic, oil, printmaking, drawing, and ceramics.
[1] She focused on portraiture in both her paintings and ceramics, including "people pots", vases featuring human faces.
[citation needed] She arrived in Tasmania in 1951 and moved to Adelaide in 1957, where she frequently held exhibitions of her work and taught at the South Australian School of Art (now the University of South Australia), University of Adelaide and Girton Girls' School.
Caddy travelled widely and she would sketch prolifically, using this material to generate paintings and ceramics for an exhibition upon her return to her studio.
[citation needed] Jo Caddy's paintings are held by the Art Gallery of South Australia and in several private collections.
