Meet Jess

PAINTING

Hi, it's nice to meet you!

I'm an acrylic artist working and living in Victoria's picturesque Yarra Valley.

I've been creating art for as long as I can remember. My painting journey however began when I was 14 years old. I loved drawing, but wanted to try a new technique and decided to give painting a go. Since then, I haven't looked back. I've been creating, sharing and selling my paintings.

I'm so grateful to have you join me on this journey.

With love, Jess

Design

Whilst painting is my favourite creative avenue, I also love design and work full time as a Textile Designer.

I studied Visual Communication Design at Uni and loved learning how to integrate my tactile visual art to a digital design to create exciting designs with new possibilities.

What Inspires Me

  • NATURE

    I'm constantly inspired by everything around me. I'm lucky to live and work in a beautiful part of Australia, full of native animals, flora and fauna. Consequently, animals and flowers often feature in my work.
    I'm drawn to their unique personalities and characteristics and love highlighting those differences in my work.

  • BIRDS

    One of my favourite subjects to paint is birds. My backyard is constantly filled with colourful birdlife including rosellas, cockatoos, magpies and kookaburras.
    I especially love the intricate details of birds feathers. Their variations in colour, shape and size intrigue me and I always find myself incorporating these elements in my work.

  • COLOUR

    Colour plays a large part in my paintings. I'm drawn to anything colourful, the brighter the colour, the better.
    Pink and green are my favourite colours and can be found in almost all of my works. I want my art to be vibrant, punchy and fun and colour is the starting point for this.

My Goals

I aspire to create art that makes people happy. I want my work to evoke, joy, excitement, and most importantly, conversations.

Art is a way to create connections and relationships. Whether it be through the loving gesture of gift giving with a thoughtful greeting card, or through creating a conversation starter with vibrant work on your walls, I hope my work can add a sparkle to you and your loved ones lives.
