Jess Holt is a Sydney-based artist and songwriter. She makes indie rock music and is currently working on a record for a new project, launching in 2023. Jess’ writing explores queer relationships, human connection and self discovery. Jess is one of the most important people in my life, and it was such a joy to finally paint her portrait after years of friendship. Throughout the painting I negotiate the boundary between realism and abstraction, highlighting the layers and complexity of Jess' identity, gender and beauty.
