About The Artist
Portrait Artist Dee Jackson’s great love is Watercolour. “It is the fluidity and spontaneity that attracts. Watercolour lends itself to the softness and curves of the human form. It allows the artist great freedom. I like to capture spontaneous moments in someone’s life; whether joy or a time of reflection. Sometimes from photographs and sometimes from life sketches in my studio, I always hope to portray the character of the sitter.”
Although Sydney based, Dee has spent several years living in Southern Africa and New Zealand and loves to paint the diversity of humanity. Colour, shapes and shadows – these are what attract Dee to people’s faces
Dee Jackson is an exhibiting member of the Ku-Ring-Gai Art Society.
