Jessie Rose Ford’s techniques in watercolour painting and grey lead drawing lend
her botanical subjects an impressive level of realism.
As a Melbourne-based artist, Jessie’s passion for nature and the environment is
evident in her work and in the numerous solo and group exhibitions in which her
work has featured. Her art residency on Flinders Island in Tasmania in 2015 also led
to Jessie receiving the Highly Commended Prize at theReFraming Natureexhibition
at the Melbourne Royal Botanical Gardens that year.
After several years experience in teaching her botanical art techniques, Jessie is
now embarking on a journey around Australia, to share her knowledge, connect with
communities and build new relationships – all while exploring more of our beautiful
country and its diverse natural environments.
