About Jess

Jess is a Bundaberg artist and educator who has been teaching at local high schools for 19 years. In 2021 Jess found time to focus on her own artistic practice which developed into a business that includes original artworks, commissions, courses, workshops and products.

Jess offers private art classes and runs local workshops for a variety of artforms including watercolour, mixed media painting, animation and therapeutic art. She collaborates with Bundaberg Regional Art Gallery and Artisans 4670 to offer a variety of free and paid workshops for the local community.

Jess has an intuitive approach to art making which is both experimental and expressive. She works with mixed media and loves to experiment with layering paints, impasto, inks, flow mediums and paint markers. Her creative flow is inspired by the beauty of nature, music, unconscious emotions and exploring the vibrational energy of colour. Jess is also studying art therapy and sees art as a modality for healing, creating change and self-expression.
Jess currently offers a variety of workshops that focus on intuitive arts practices. Uncork Your Imagination is a three-hour relaxed workshop where you explore background techniques, mark making skills and then you can create your own original work on canvas. Whimsical watercolours is her workshop where you explore how to use a variety of drawing and painting media in an abstract and colourful way. Her Abstract Botanical course runs for four consecutive weeks and explores how to create layered abstract floral forms, colour theory and composition skills.
