Ross Journée (RJ) is a digital painter with a fervor for creating pieces that cultivate love, hope and healing.
As a self-taught artist, she’s been able to exercise her creative muscle since the onset of the pandemic after not having picked up a pencil/brush/you-name-it in ten years. While life was looking bleak with the world shutdown, she grabbed her sketchbook again as a way of relaxation, eventually experimenting with digital programs, using friends and dreams as portrait subjects.
After taking the plunge and curating an art-only IG, she’s now a one-woman-band in her small business of loving people through this craft, which for her is joy at its purest.
She aspires to paint uniquely-created and meaningful pieces for people to hang in their homes, display at wedding venues, gift as cards and beyond. Thus, the majority of her portfolio is made-up of commissioned pieces, each telling a story about the real people who inspired them. Her favorite kind of work involves getting to know her subjects and immortalizing their quirks, favourite places and things into one idyllic scene.
She is as inspired by the of sleekness of the mid-century modern movement as the visual nuance of Tim Burton for most of her work, but allows unique styles to transpire depending on the emotion she’s aiming to capture.
