Jessica Tedim

Jessica is a young Gamilaroi Ularoi/Yuwaalaraay woman from Walgett in North West NSW, born in 1999. Jessica grew up immersed in culture, learning Gamilaraay and Yuwaalaraay language throughout her early education, and stories and culture from family and community.

From an early age, Jessica has found an interest in art, coming from artistic families on both her Aboriginal and Portuguese sides. Jessica aims to represent the beauty of the land and her connection to country in her artworks. Her art often depicts curved lines inspired by carved trees on her country, the rivers, and native flora and fauna. Jessica uses an array of earthy and contemporary colours in her art. Jessica has now ventured into creating digital artworks that relate to modern cultural interpretations.

Jessica has had her artworks in private exhibitions, and small rural galleries. In 2019, Jessica had her triptych ‘Ngurrambaa’ as the feature piece for HSBC’s Reconciliation Action Plan and is now in the head office of The Australian Indigenous Education Foundation.

Jessica is located in Meanjin (Brisbane)
