About the artist

Jay’s Journey

Jay specialises in acrylic on canvas paintings, and in life-like pencil art.

While she is experienced in different mediums, Jay has found a deep connection to vibrant acrylic paintings and traditional pencil drawing of animals. She loves how they communicate so much of the characteristics of the animal to the audience. Ironically, Jay feels that the communication feels easier in the detail.

Artistic approach

Expression lives in the detail.

Jay’s connection to animals shapes the way she studies character, expression and the details that communicate without words.
