About the artist

Jessica grew up in the beautiful bushlands of Warrandyte, and has lived and worked in France. She is currently based in Caulfield North, Melbourne.

Jessica has always nurtured her creative side through dance, poetry and the study of foreign languages. She is a self-taught artist who began painting as a means of expressing herself, with a view of creating moments of calm in her busy life as a French teacher. She draws inspiration from the colour palettes of both Australia and France, beautiful skies, memories of overseas travel as well as the simplicity of still life moments.

In 2025 Jessica was a finalist in the Inside this Box art prize at The Corner Store Gallery. In 2024 she was invited to exhibit with The Toowoomba Gallery at the Affordable Art Fair (Brisbane and Sydney). She was also a finalist in The Doyles Art Award still-life category.

Jessica's work recently featured in the Christmas special edition of Country Style magazine and has been sourced for interior design projects in Melbourne, including Elio's restaurant on Flinders Lane, Melbourne, and Middle Park European bistro. Her work is currently stocked at Forman Art and Framing (Melbourne), Foray Design Store (Dubbo), Cleo Collects (Perth), The Toowoomba Gallery (Toowoomba) and Tyger Gallery (Yass).

Earlier in her art career, Jessica was a finalist in the 2023 9x5 Landscape Prize at Waverley Woollahra Art School, a finalist in the Mini Series Art Prize at The Corner Store Gallery and a finalist in The Next Big Thing art prize at The Toowoomba Gallery.
