ARTISTS' BIO
MARILYN JESSOP
Painting has been my life-long passion – selling miniatures on Fridays nights at the street markets in Westport in the 1970s, retail outlets around the South Island in the 1980s, owning Just Art Gallery in the 1990s with exhibitions in Picton and Nelson...and then a long hiatus, until 2014.
Since 2019 I have had paintings exhibited in the Marlborough Art Society and in Picton at the Little Theatre. I trip around New Zealand taking photos then back to my studio where I paint them. I also have several paintings of Film Stars and Models, Flora and Fauna, Caravans, Birds, Geese and a Cat! |
