JACKIE GREEN — About the Artist

Like many talented artists, Jackie was born with brush in hand. From a young age down in Mount Wellington, Tasmania, she would explore her stunning natural surroundings and take in all the sensory stimulation abundantly supplied by her nurturing muse in Mother Nature. The intoxicating aroma of the ancient eucalypts, the feel of 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, widely drawing flora and fauna whenever she had the spare moment to take out her pencils, crayons or paints.

As the years flew by, she evolved from a curious teenager into a career-minded adult; her love of the visual arts deepened, and she trained as a signwriter before the advent of digital design. She was also 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 a series of playful packaging designs to add a slice of contemporary spice to their clean, minimal look.

Surrounding herself with artistic communities and inner-city locales that provide daily inspiration has always been a critical consideration for Jackie’s creative growth and professional progression. From the Adelaide Hills to Coogee Beach, St Kilda, to her commercial signage studio in Port Melbourne, Jackie has always been influenced by the intoxicating “nowness” of a bustling urban buzz, albeit underpinned by the organic tones only 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 corporate briefs can influence her creative process, Jackie sets free all her design experience and artistic flair that perfectly pairs her love of big-city hype with the reassuring calmness gifted by nature.

Her work is raw yet considered. Textural yet deliberate. A beautiful fusion of mixed media depicting a natural flow that comfortably befriends colourful chaos, like spontaneous emotions that surface when you meet the love of your life or discover an unexpected vista that stops you 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.

One common theme, though, brushes across every Jackie Green canvas. The Sorrento Studio is her happy place and a portal to endless pastel possibilities inspired by life’s fragile beauty and the indelible interplay between “human + nature”.
