Artist's Story - Meet Jess

Hello! I’m Jess, a multimedia Artist and Creative Therapist.

Before becoming an artist in 2025, I spent eight years working in Learning & Development and Diversity & Inclusion. While I loved championing women through these roles, I realised that the moments that mattered most to me were the ones spent with people. Listening, supporting, and finding creative ways to guide them. That’s when I knew my path needed to shift.

After life-changing experiences, including losing my Dad to cancer at 19, taking compassionate leave from work, and navigating challenging women’s health issues, something inside me changed. I felt called toward a different kind of healing. One rooted in creativity, embodiment, and emotional expression.

I decided to become formally qualified in Creative Arts Therapy (HICAT), bringing together my love of the arts and psychology (BSc & MSc).

I know what it feels like to be stuck, lost, or alone. Through art, I discovered a kind of healing that words alone couldn’t offer.

I truly believe art can heal, and with one painting at a time, my hope is to help make that healing possible.
