Wild Refuge By Jessica Reid Thomas

Watercolour Painting Exhibition in The Tina Dolter Gallery, Located in The Rotary Arts Centre
On Display from July 29th – Sept. 15th 2026

Jessica Reid Thomas’s work explores the interconnectivity of ecosystems and her own place in them. She is particularly interested in the symbiosis of indigenous plant species and what we can learn from them and apply to our human relationships. By careful observation of shifting light, forms, colours, and textures, she seeks to capture a raw beauty that is often overlooked and under appreciated.

Jessica aims to engage local community members and discuss the intersections of disability, environment, and non-toxic art practices. By publicly discussing MCS and her art making, she is creating a space for other sensitive individuals. Her project aims to increase accessibility by providing representation for artists with environmental disabilities and advocating for safer, non-toxic spaces within the cultural sector.
