Jodie Simpson - The Person Behind the Shop
Welcome! I'm so happy that you're here.
Let me introduce myself so that you can get to know the person behind the shop.
I'm Jodie, an artist, an animal lover, a plant enthusiast and I may have a teeny-tiny book obsession (fantasy books for the win!).
If you are also book obsessed you can join my TikTok community @escaping_with_books where I chat books and we can chat together.
I'm a Mum to two daughters aged 10 and 12 and a wife to a sports crazy husband.
We are a Neurodivergent family, celebrating our uniqueness and learning from each other as we create our own world.
I have the pleasure of homeschooling my youngest daughter where I am blessed to be able to read my books and create my art whenever a moment arises during my day. Some days I find myself with hours to devote to my art practice while other days I might only find time for a quick ten minute sketch.
As an introvert with anxiety, art has always held me bringing me a sense of peace (and sometimes huge frustrations if an artwork isn't working out!) I have been drawing since I can remember and many of my greatest achievements, my deepest personal growth and my biggest joys have come from my art.
In the early years of my artistic career, I was committed to the study of art. I spent many years in private lessons studying Tonal Realism (focused on the Meldrum style), completing my Diploma of Visual Arts (Drawing and Printmaking) at Chisholm Institute and completing my Bachelor of Visual Arts at Monash University.
Nine years ago, I began focusing on Intuitive Artwork where I have sold hundreds of custom works and prints to customers all around the world. You can find this work in my other Etsy Shop @JodieSimpsonConduit
I am also creating some products which will support your own creativity. You will soon find colouring books and art journals with creative prompts. But until they are listed you can purchase them directly from the publishing company here:
