Jessie Vong is an emerging artist and poet, currently pursuing Art Therapy studies at the College of Complementary Medicine in NSW, Australia, a journey she began in October 2024. With a passion for creativity and mental health advocacy, Jessie's work bridges the worlds of art and healing, inspired by her deep belief that art is 'food for the soul'.
Her poetry journey began when art therapy lecturers recognised her talent and encouraged her to publish a book combining insightful verses with her personable hand-drawn illustrations. This creative endevour reflects her dedication to expressing abstract thoughts and emotions, encouraging readers to reflect, grow and discover new perspectives.
