Creativity dose with... Jessica Kaye
Jessica Kaye is a talented Artist and Painter.
Australian artist living and painting in Notting Hill London. She moved to London from Sydney over a year ago with her boyfriend Matteo. Art is how she makes sense of the world - she can sketch for hours every day, reworking one line after the next until it captures an intimate moment, thought or feeling… Largely inspired by her own life, by the complexity behind the everyday.
