About me

My name is Jess and I’m a gouache artist from Melbourne, Australia. I primarily paint landscapes in gouache, but will occasionally dabble in other subjects and mediums.

Here is my story…

I loved drawing ever since I was a child, but as I grew older and life took its course, I lost touch with my childhood passion. Like many others, I thought art was a hobby at best. After graduating with a Bachelor’s in Commerce, I started my first corporate job as an auditor. It didn’t take long for me to realise that the job was unfulfilling and my heart was not there. Every day there was a yearning feeling to do something different and more meaningful with my life.

And so, I took a leap of faith and left the industry after a year. I left with minimal direction and some doubt, but with a firm mind that I would follow a path guided by my interests and passions.

During this transitional period, I began to rekindle my childhood love for art. I started sharing my paintings on Instagram, made a YouTube channel, and the rest is history.

Now I teach and share my learnings along the way through my YouTube channel, Patreon page, Skillshare classes and other social media platforms. Follow me there to join me on this journey as I grow and evolve as an artist.
