Jessi Hooper

Glen Eira City Council Youth Services

Join Glen Eira 2023 Youth Seniors Art Award Winner Jessi Hooper for her solo-exhibition, Nature’s Mosaic. Jessi feels comfort through nature. This is captured through her creative use of acrylic paint, and depiction of whimsical expressions of animals, and the intricacy of flowers and fruit. Her paintings are often inspired by trips to the zoo or an animal sanctuary, or even pets that she would love to have.
