Hello! I'm Jade, a visual artist originally from the south coast of Victoria (Boonwurrung/ Bunurong Country). Prior to moving to Nambour, I lived on Waiben in the Torres Strait (Kaurareg Country) for almost a decade. Although art has always been an important part of my life, it was only in 2020 that I discovered watercolours and became captivated by the medium's unique qualities.
Currently, both my studio, and my home are located in Naamba (Kabi Kabi/ Gubbi Gubbi Country). In addition to creating art, I conduct watercolour workshops to share my techniques and passion with others. I live and breathe my arts practice and was honoured to be a finalist in the Du Reitz Art Awards in 2022, 2023, and 2024. I completed a Visual Arts Diploma in 2024 and am currently in The Refinery cohort of 2024, R 6.0.
My work focuses on blending realism and abstract elements to create pieces that integrate both styles. I find endless inspiration in nature, change, and equally in human behaviour. We’re all just falling forward through life, and I find so much beauty in the chaos of it all.
Endless gratitude to you for taking the time to read my story
x Jade
