Jessica Gurnsey

Jessica Gurnsey is an acrylic on canvas painter based in Wellington, New Zealand. Specialising in portraiture, she loves to step back from a painting and recognise the specific way her subject's hair falls, the creases by their eyes, and the textures in the pavement they stand on. “I love imperfections painted perfectly, because these are what make us human, and the details around us often inform the building of our sense of self.”
