About

Jocelyn Andress is a multidisciplinary artist working across various media including painting, drawing, and textiles. Jocelyn’s work frequently involves floral imagery, which she uses to elicit notions of womanhood. Through this lens, she explores themes of beauty, life, and death, as well as the relationship florals have to interior domestic spaces vs. exterior environments. Jocelyn’s work expresses an interest in how women experience intergenerational art making through craft and textile creation.

Jocelyn’s work is also influenced by the design and conceptual elements of Art Nouveau. Her work expresses aesthetic components of the art movement through the use of long flowing lines and the fascination with florals. But her interest in Art Nouveau extends into how the art blurred the lines between fine art and decorative art by utilizing designs for wallpaper, textile prints, furniture and more.

Jocelyn is a Canadian artist living and working on the unceded territory of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, also known as Vancouver, BC. She graduated from Western University with a BFA in 2019.
