Jesse Bell
Jesse Bell is a Darwin-born artist who grew up in Adelaide River. He has spent time living in Auckland, New Zealand where he first developed a passion for painting.
Moving back to Darwin as a young adult, he continued to develop his painting skills in the graffiti scene. He was quickly recognised for his talent in painting realism, gaining a substantial amount of commissions for his work. Specialising in animals and portraiture, he now works full-time as a street artist and signwriter.
Jesse had been involved in the Darwin Street Art festival every year, collaborating with a number of artists as well as producing spectacular works of his own.
