Hello, my name is Jessie Chen.

I have loved painting for as long as I can remember. The process of creating art provides me refuge from the craziness that is this world. A pharmacist by training, I recently re-immersed myself in my true passion of painting, and I am especially fond of studying natural landscapes and greenery. A new mother as well, I draw inspiration from my children, my memories of my own childhood and the many homes of my past. Through each stroke, I hope to convey a sense of nostalgia and catharsis to my audience, and a longing for calm from outside noise.

I am a pharmacist, a mom of two, and a self-taught artist based in Toronto, Ontario.
