Tash Jackson is a Melbourne/ Naarm based watercolour artist. Romanticising the world surrounding her is essential to how she experiences and views it. Using predominantly watercolour on paper, Jackson presents her inner romantic views of society, familial relationships and femininity. 

The process of breaking down and dissecting an image allows her to take her time immersing herself in the process of creating a symbolic image. Jackson creates intimacy by spending time with her works. Her compulsion to allow the work to develop at its own pace results in the daydreamed perspective that she conjures up in her mind. She uses imagery that is surrealist, symbolic and figurative in nature, bright and unrealistic in colour to present her romanticised perspective. 

Jackson is currently exploring different avenues of creating large scale paper works. She does this by using multiple panels in a jigsaw formation that seamlessly fit together. This method is complementary to her process of dissecting an image into elements, which is essential to her development of a piece. 

While exploring this avenue of creating large scale works, Jackson was fortunate to be nominated as a finalist for the Biennial Flow Watercolour Artist Prize 2023 and is currently working towards her first solo exhibition in October 2024 at Rubicon ARI.
