Jodie Fergusson-Batte
Visual Artist (Sydney, NSW)

Jodie was born in Melbourne and later lived in a number of places including Queensland and Darwin before finally moving to settle in Sydney where she is now based. Sydney is where Jodie found a strong and renewed passion for her painting that has lead to her focusing heavily on her art over the past years.

Jodie's paintings portray a warmth and an insight into the dynamic and rich essence of life using vibrant colours and deep emotional tones. Seeking inspiration from her own life, Jodie has developed her own unique style that is easily recognisable at first glance.

When asked how she feels about her art Jodie explains it as an emotional experience that is in many ways therapeutic. All of her works stem from an experience or situation that she has been exposed to and expresses the feelings evoked.

"It is confronting being totally honest about yourself, your feelings and your insecurities but I believe that this is where my best work comes from. I also believe that the honesty in my work is one of the aspects that people are attracted to."

Jodie has been exhibiting since 1990 and most recently has been involved in showings in Sydney.
