Jule Jarner

From the still waters of Lake Macquarie to the expansive flatlands of rural Australia, my journey as an artist has been one of joyful growth and unexpected discoveries.

Growing up surrounded by creative spaces, I always had a passion for art, but it took a leap of faith for me to realize that I could actually pursue it as a career. My adventure began with a traineeship in arts administration at Lake Macquarie City Council, which set the stage for my artistic journey.

At 20, I made the exciting decision to move to Moree. What I thought would be a step in my career quickly transformed into a love affair with this small country town. Working as the Programs and Outreach Officer at Moree Plains Shire Council, and later as the Education and Engagement Coordinator at the Bank Art Museum Moree, I found a vibrant community that embraced creativity and connection. Now, as the founder of my own practice, Jule Jarner, I’ve turned my passion into purpose.

The warmth and support of the Moree community has inspired me to invest in myself and pursue my own artistic vision. I am proud to call this town home, and I thrive on engaging with initiatives that uplift our community, showcasing its resilience and kindness. I believe in the healing power of art and creativity to express values, thoughts, and identities, leaving a positive footprint in our world.

My work is deeply influenced by the beauty of human connection. I see art as a bridge that fosters understanding and compassion, and I strive to infuse warmth and positivity into everything I create. Each color choice and composition is a deliberate expression of my values, inviting others to join me on a journey toward a more loving and harmonious world. Sometimes, I even create purely for the joy of it!

Through my art, I hope to inspire others to embrace kindness and celebrate the connections that make us human. I believe that in every brushstroke lies the potential to foster community and create a brighter future together.
