About
Jay Kay Wassell is a visual artist based in Melbourne, Australia, living on Wurundjeri country. Jay is currently focusing on portraiture and wall murals. Graduating from her double degree 10 years ago, she has since developed her practice and particularly enjoys playing with texture and scale, as well as concepts of identity and environment. She loves to incorporate natural elements with bright colours in her work. Jay has painted live at festivals, gigs, and has ongoing relationships with commercial businesses for mural commissions.
