ABOUT THE ARTIST

I’m Jake, a visual artist a muralist who has recently moved to Sydney from the Gold Coast. Boy was that a journey…

This work stems from a series that I’m currently working on called HighContrast.

High Contrast is a series of fine-liner drawings in which I let my mind flow onto the page.

My hand wonders where it wants, as I experience my own thoughts and feelings. This process feels meditative for sure, yet hyper-focused and dreamy at the same time. It is a part of my practice that was lost for a long time, forgotten, and has now been rediscovered as (possibly) my voice as an artist.
