For fifteen years, I navigated the corporate world, finding a creative counterpoint in performance art and music. But it was a health diagnosis in 2023 that truly ignited my passion for visual art. The solitude and introspection that followed allowed me to fully embrace this long-held dream, transforming it into a cornerstone of my healing journey.
Despite having no formal training in visual arts, I have found solace and inspiration in the act of creation itself. The natural world has always captivated me, particularly the creatures that inhabit it. Their resilience, the grace of their movement, and the spectrum of emotions they evoke.
Working primarily with acrylics, gouache, and pastels on canvas and paper, I strive to capture the essence of animals. Their uninhibited spirit and honest expressions resonate deeply with me, perhaps reflecting my own vulnerability and resilience. My work often depicts them in a lighthearted way, celebrating their unique personalities and the joy they bring to the natural world.
Through my art, I hope to share the healing power of nature and inspire others to embrace their passions, especially those facing challenging life experiences. By exploring themes of resilience, hope, and the interconnectedness of all living things, I aim to create a visual language that resonates with audiences on both an emotional and intellectual level.
Thank you so much for the great service and stunning product! I've used you several times and will continue until I run out of walls!

Absolutely stunning experience
This was my first time placing an order with Jasper & Jute. Even though my order seemed to be cursed from the start (courier company had damaged the frames not once, but twice!) Kara promptly replied to my emails and made sure that they were delivered safely to me in the end. It took quite a bit longer to eventually hang the prints in my home, but this was one of the most pleasant customer service experiences I have ever had. A massive thank you to Kara for assisting me throughout this process!

Gorgeous art, quality frames, fast delivery
I was a long time stalker of Jasper and Jute - endlessly adding prints to cart and then changing my mind. Finally took the plunge when I kept coming back to prints with a happy, bright coral colour. The artwork is gorgeous, I love the frames and delivery was fast and wrapped in bubble wrap for safety which I appreciated. Thank you!
