Art has been a never-ending self-inquiry for Jaye and the biggest tool for awareness, healing, learning and transformation. It is a blessing recognised by Jaye to have a platform to share this medium with others, not only through her artwork but also through Art Retreats where she helps those attending to express onto the canvas, connect and create, or via group technique base classes teaching old masters methods. Jaye has a clear ‘why’ behind her artwork as it has such a wonderful way of connecting to parts of us, we didn’t know existed, each with a message to share and to open as many hearts to the colourful and creative ways of the world. www.artbyjayeharris.com.au
