About Me ……

Hello there, Jen here!

Welcome to my website! Thanks for stopping by.

I'm an artist based in Australia, specialising in animals (lots of dogs! I love dogs). I like to work both digitally and traditionally and find working between the two has help develop and strengthen my practice.

Growing up in the 90s I was surrounded by some of the most brilliant cartoons (Hannah Barbara, Disney, Heman, Nickelodeon to name a few) and amazing toys, and it’s this nostalgic treasure that inspires my work.

I am also profoundly inspired by the loyalty and friendship one is gifted when having a dog in your life. Thinking often that ones soulmate could possibly be of a four legged kind!

I hope to capture just a glimmer of that magic in my work and help share the joy of being young at heart!
