I grew up always wanting to be a professional artist when I was younger, and this sprouted to be an even stronger urge when I got to high school. I just finished my degree at Massey University in 2025, studying a Bachelor of Fine Arts. I am dedicated to improving my artwork and to one day become a full-time artist in the future!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love to paint nature scenes, including plants, flowers, animals, and landscapes. I have always felt a connection with nature, and I really love trying to paint this feeling with art. Through my paintings, I want to help others feel inspired and spend more time in the outdoors. Nature has overwhelming benefits to our mental health and wellbeing, allowing us to feel peace and happiness. I hope my paintings can achieve this same level of peace for others, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/symons.net.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_9058-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-66\" srcset=\"https:\/\/symons.net.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_9058-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/symons.net.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_9058-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/symons.net.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_9058-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/symons.net.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_9058-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/symons.net.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_9058-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/symons.net.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_9058-850x567.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name is Jessica Symons, and I have a passion for art.
