Meet the Artist
Hello, I’m Jida – the artist behind Art by Jida. Originally from Thailand, I’ve been living in Tasmania, where I’ve fallen in love with the beauty of this place and the peace it brings to my life. My artistic journey started as a way to heal, and it’s now become my mission to use art to help others find that same peace, joy, and connection. Through watercolor painting, I aim to create pieces that resonate with people on a personal level, offering a reminder of the beauty that exists in our lives.
In addition to my art, I’m in my final year of studying Social Work at the University of Tasmania. My education has deepened my understanding of mental health, human connection, and the importance of support systems in healing. I hope to combine my passion for art and social work to make a positive impact in the lives of others.
When I’m not painting or studying, you can usually find me exploring Tasmania’s stunning landscapes, finding inspiration in nature, or connecting with my wonderful community. I’m so grateful to be able to share my art with you, and I hope it brings you as much joy and comfort as it brings me to create it.
Our
Story
Get to Know Us
Art by Jida is more than just a store – it’s a journey of healing, connection, and a celebration of life’s simple joys. As a watercolor artist originally from Thailand, I moved to Tasmania to embrace new opportunities and experiences. Art has always been a personal way for me to express emotions, but it became even more powerful as I turned to it to heal from my own struggles with anxiety and depression. Through this journey, I discovered the transformative power of creativity and its ability to connect us with others.
My art is a reflection of this personal path, capturing the beauty of nature, the calm of Tasmania’s landscapes, and the little moments that bring happiness. Every piece I create is infused with love, care, and my desire to share those moments with others.
In addition to my art, I am currently studying Social Work at the University of Tasmania, where I am in my final year. This journey has helped me understand the importance of mental health and has fueled my passion for using both art and social work to support and uplift others.
