In 2004, the Kentucky Folk Art Center acquired work by Jo Neace Krause. The Center's website had this about her work: "Jo Neace Krause's oil paintings are wonderful portraits and landscapes of Appalachian scenes and people. Her work displays extraordinary skill and emotional depth, especially when considering that Ms. Krause has only been painting for two years. She is a native of Breathitt Co., and currently resides in Weston, W.Va."
