JACKIE GREEN — About the Artist

Human + Nature

Like many talented artists, Jackie was born with brush in hand. From a young age in Mount Wellington, Tasmania, she’d explore her natural surroundings and take in the stunning scenes gifted by her daily muse in, Mother Nature. The fresh aroma of ancient eucalypts, cool, composted earth beneath her feet and the visual spectacle of unspoiled rainforests flourishing under shaded canopies — even waving “hello” to the local platypus walking to school a regular ritual. These were her formative artistic years, keenly drawing flora and fauna whenever she had the spare moment to take out her pencils, crayons and paints.

As the years passed, she evolved from a curious, artistic teenager into a career-minded adult; her love of the visual arts deepened, and she trained as a classic signwriter before the advent of digital design. It turns out she was quite the protege at it, achieving honourable awards for pictorial art and gold leaf work at the Melbourne College of Art and RMIT’s Interiors for Living. As she honed her custom signage skills, creative design software soon hit the scene. Jackie jumped on the upskilling wagon, eventually mastering the programs to the same level of excellence her keen eye and steady hand had accomplished in the signwriting world. Commercially, she was now designing premium signage for renowned companies and significant events, including the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Spring Racing Carnival, and more recently, luxury skincare brand Endota Spa, where she created playful packaging designs to add a slice of contemporary spice to their minimal look.

Surrounding herself with artistic communities and inspiring locales for regular inspiration has always been a core practice for Jackie’s creative growth and professional progression. From Adelaide to Sydney, Tokyo to her signage studio in Melbourne, Jackie has always been influenced by the intoxicating “nowness” of a bustling urban buzz alongside the organic tones commonly found in nature’s palette. And here lies the juxtaposed creative outlet that directs her artistic practice outside the fast-paced world of signage. Tucked away in The Sorrento Studio, where no commercial briefs guide her creative process, Jackie sets free all her design experience and artistic flair, expressed through her love of big-city hype or the calmness of nature.

Her work is raw yet considered. Textural yet deliberate. A forward-thinking fusion of mixed media where a free flow comfortably befriends colourful chaos, like spontaneous emotions that surface when you meet someone special or discover an unexpected vista that stops you dead in your tracks. It makes you smile, but it makes you think. It forces you to look deeper but in a light-hearted way. Splashes of acrylic, strokes of enamel, a rattle can of flux and messages of typography — the visual layers of communication tell a story personified with positive energy and delivered in authentic artistic verse.

Poignantly, a shared theme always rings true across every Jackie Green canvas. The Sorrento Studio is her happy place and a portal to endless paint-filled possibilities inspired by life’s fragile beauty and the indelible interplay between “human + nature”.
