ABOUT JASMINE VERONIQUE, SUNSHINE COAST FINE ARTIST
Painted by hand. Built in layers.
Wildflowers, wild places, painted in oils.
Jasmine Veronique is a Sunshine Coast-based fine artist working in oils.
Her paintings are centered on Australian wildflowers, native flora and the landscapes they belong to, with a particular focus on the Wallum landscapes of the Sunshine Coast, Noosa and Cooloola regions.
Her debut solo exhibition, The Dance of the Wildflowers (2025), was followed by The Wildflower Letters at Gympie Regional Gallery in 2026.
Her work has received recognition through numerous Australian art prizes and has been featured in publications including IN Noosa, Hello Sunshine and Art Edit.
Jasmine’s work is held in private collections across Australia, New Zealand and the United States.
THE WORK
My paintings explore the wildflowers and native flora of the Australian landscape.
PARTICULARLY THE WALLUM OF SOUTH EAST QUEENSLAND.
Much of my work begins while walking through the landscape, photographing and noticing the wildflowers, plants and smaller moments that make me stop. These become the starting point for paintings that move between expansive flora-scapes and more intimate studies of individual species.
I work primarily in oils, and I love finding a balance between loose, expressive mark-making and areas of finer detail. I don’t want every part of a painting to feel overly resolved or controlled, so I often leave traces of the painting process visible - allowing some of the wildness and imperfection of the landscape to remain.
THE PROCESS
I work slowly, building my oil paintings through layers of colour, removal and refinement.
I usually begin quite loosely, using broad marks and an underpainting to establish the composition, colour and movement of the work. From there, I build layers of oil paint, often pulling areas back, scraping or wiping paint away and allowing parts of those earlier layers to remain visible.
I love the push and pull between loose, expressive marks and more carefully observed areas. I don’t feel the need to resolve every part of a painting to the same level of detail — raw edges, unexpected marks and glimpses of the underpainting are all an important part of my work.
For me, the finished painting should still hold some of the energy and imperfection of the landscape it came from.
THE PLACE
The landscapes of the Sunshine Coast, Noosa and Cooloola regions sit at the heart of my practice.
The Wallum landscapes of the Sunshine Coast, Noosa and Cooloola regions have been central to my work for several years. Through regular walks, I've come to know these places across changing seasons, and I continue to find new things to explore in their wildflowers, colours and light.
While these landscapes remain an important part of my practice, I'm also beginning to explore further afield, studying the native flora and landscapes of other regions across Australia. I'm particularly interested in how changes in light, colour and atmosphere can shape the feeling of a place.
