Jessica Ng is a self-taught artist born in Hong Kong who migrated to Sydney, Australia at a very young age with her family.
She is professionally trained as a Graphics Designer as well as a Fashion Designer, receiving her education at UNSW Art & Design followed by the Fashion Design School (FDS) TAFE NSW. After spending a few years in the fashion industry Jessica started building an online following via Instagram and launched her online store selling her artworks in the form of prints and stationery under her brand jb0xtchi.
In 2019 Jessica had her first solo exhibition at the Wedge Gallery in Sydney which helped pave the road to pursuing a full-time art career. In 2021 she began experimenting with acrylics on canvas instead of solely working on paper with Watercolour.
Her work depicts a sense of whimsical innocence, juxtaposed against themes of loneliness and darkness. The world she creates is filled with Anthropomorphic creatures and childlike characters with dark eyes interacting in various settings inspired by fairy tales, fantasy books, western cartoons, and Japanese anime mixed with childhood memories and experiences in life.
