Digital artworks by Jocelyn Gardner

About

Following my B.A. in biology, the gravitational pull towards making it my profession never materialized within me. Life took an unforeseen turn, guided by personal events that reshaped my trajectory to the extent that art stepped in to fill the void. The journey commenced with the humble act of crafting black-and-white drawings, a poignant expression of the animals I once studied and observed.

The evolution of my creative process is a fluid dance between the mediums I explore and the emotions I seek to reveal. At the heart of this exploration is my identity as a scientific illustrator, a role in which I have learned to represent a myriad of subjects. It is from this base that my creativity unfolds, reflecting the dynamic interaction between my art and my inner world that it seeks to express.

There are times when a hand-painted artwork remains in an unresolved state, awaiting completion. In such moments, I find a solution in the form of a digital redesign. The initial gesture, caught in a delicate dance, can either endure or undergo a genuine mutation. The recent integration of AI into the early stages of creation has, surprisingly, opened up new horizons for my imagination.
