Jessica Dunn

British artist based in Portugal and UK.
Born in London into a theatrical family, Jessica Dunn was encouraged by her actor parents to take her own artistic path.
After relocating to the Algarve, to enjoy the fantastic southern light and laid back pace of life, she has remained in Portugal, where she paints full time in oils and acrylics.
Full of light and contrast, Dunn’s abstract landscapes reflect her passion for the beauty of her surroundings. There is a depth and richness in her work, inviting and intriguing.

Jessica Dunn has exhibited in galleries and museums in Portugal, the UK, France and Italy. Her participation in SIAC (the International Symposium of Contemporary Art) at the Guarda Museum resulted in an invitation to return in 2020 and her work remains in the museum collection.
