JESSICA NEWMAN

I am a visual artist with an illustrative style and have been painting for over 20 years.

I love using humour and colour in my work and creating scenes that make you smile and linger.

Recently I wrote and illustrated a children's book on mental health and taught it in schools. I like writing, especially rhyming words and my favourite author is Dr Seuss.

I live in Õhope Beach with my husband and am currently painting local scenes and landscapes.
