The art of gouache painting has a longstanding history in jewellery design. Traditionally, it is a technique used within high jewellery to meticulously depict a design for the craftsman to follow in manufacturing the jewel.
Joey was first introduced to the art of gouache painting during her studies at Central Saint Martins through a series of online workshops. She was fascinated with the beauty of this hand process craft and saw gouache painting as an art form in itself. She continued to develop and refine her skills independently. It was during her internship at Shaun Leane that Joey was able to hone her skills, painting prolifically for the House. Joey was later commissioned to produce gouache paintings for Bespoke projects and further media content.
Joey has painted gouaches for Shaun Leane in London and Altmann and Cherny in Sydney.
