Magical and Haunting Original Artworks.

One of a kind – lovingly painted, just for you.

You might not consider yourself an art collector in the traditional sense. But you are an art lover. You believe in the pleasure of an unusual artwork. You understand the way that a carefully chosen artwork can enhance your environment, and bring a boost to your everyday life.

And while you appreciate all kinds of creative expression, the art that you are most drawn too is a little unusual. It is magical, and evokes memory and magic. It features people, and realism and the hint of something more. You want realistic artwork that took time and care to create. You don’t want mass produced artwork, and you want something that reflects YOU. Your unique style, interests and personality.

 

Meet the Artist

Sweet but with a hint of something dark.

Hi my name is Jessie Dunlop, and this is the type of art that I create. It has been described as both magical and haunting. Sweet but with the hint of something dark.

 I draw lovingly in pencil, ink and watercolour. I favour miniature postcards and paper tiles, as they are smaller and more intimate. I love realism and detail, but also delight in the odd and unsettling. My preferred subjects are children, Edwardian women and folktale inspired “wildermen” and beasts. The art that I create always features characters and narratives.

Where the Characters come from.

Bringing a touch of magic into your home.

Each piece is one of a kind. They are drawn from a collection of source materials, carefully curated. I hold these in my hand and see where the characters want to go. Each day is something new. The way that the pencil falls, and the play of the graphite as the paintbrush washes over. I could paint the same portrait again and again, but no two are ever really alike. Each is influenced by the materials, the mood and the position of the stars. Every piece truly is one of a kind, no one else will own another quite like it.

Why I Paint

Bringing a touch of magic into your home.

I am focused on my art, and being the best that I can be. These paintings are the result of years of trial, and yearning to create my very best. Now I am finally happy with the work that is appearing on the page, I am excited to send them out to new homes, where they can become part of a new story – part of your world.
