Jessie Khalawan is a contemporary artist and illustrator, born in Trinidad and living and working in sunny Florida. Her work sits at the intersection of observation and imagination, exploring the female landscape through botanicals, nature, bold color, and expressive forms. Rooted in a deep curiosity about spirituality, nature, and the divine feminine, her work considers the sacred relationship between women, the natural world, and the life-giving forces that connect us. Through vibrant, unapologetic color and organic imagery, she celebrates femininity as both a presence and a powerful force of creation.
Alongside her painting, Jessie is working on completing a collection of poetry and working on writing and illustrating a children’s book.
