ABOUT THE ARTIST
NICE TO MEET YOU
Meet Jessie Breakwell, the artist who turns everyday life into a colorful, cheeky adventure. With a paintbrush in one hand and a Mintie in the other, Jessie creates vibrant, offbeat works that are as bold and quirky as her sense of humor. She’s been known to turn zebras into style icons, elephants into dreamers, and tropical birds into party guests. Influenced by legends like Brett Whiteley and Henri Matisse, Jessie’s art is a playful rebellion against realism—because, let’s face it, the world’s already dramatic enough. Whether teaching Ozzie Osbourne to draw or dodging lobster-related controversies, Jessie keeps it fun, fabulous, and utterly unforgettable.

WORK OF ART
Jessie’s approach to her art is refreshingly unapologetic—she paints what feels right, not what fits the mold. Her works are infused with a sense of spontaneity and joy, each piece a little escape from the seriousness of life. “I like to think my paintings bring a bit of humor and magic into the world,” she says.
