Jessie Nannette

About

My name is Jessie Nannette and I'm an artist, singer, capoerista, coach and movement fanatic. I care deeply about taking care of life on Earth and supporting shifts in consciousness first in myself, and in the way I know, those around me.

I take on the challenge every day of doing the inner work to leave the space a little bit cleaner for my descendents, and to nurture healty, loving relationships.

My art draws inspiration from nature and the desire to create something beautiful. More often than not, I'm frustrated by the creative process and how much better things look in my head. Once in a while, I create something I can appreciate and it keeps me coming back.

Inspired by, and in gratitude to, Nature.

Exhibitions

My first solo exhibit, Halfway Through The Woods, captured moments perceivable only through a camera’s distorted gaze. Inspired by ephemeral light and scintillating colours, I sought to portray a semi whimsical world that resides only in the viewers’ imagination. The subject of this work stems from dispersed light and its resonance in nature.

Photographs of the night’s sky and billowing trees taken with a 30 second shutter speed, capture distortions of reality that offer fleeting glimpses into worlds beyond what meets the eye - alluding to layers of life best perceived through the heart.

The exhibition’s title was inspired by my favourite composer and songwriter, Stephen Sondheim, and his musical ‘Into the Woods’ in which  numerous fairy tales are intertwined to explore the concept of what happens  after ‘ Happily ever after’.
