Through Jarvis’ eyes, the female body is not isolated, but is instead embedded within her surroundings. In softly-rendered angles, the body and blanket appear in visual harmony, with the striped couch quietly punctuation the sense of visual cohesion. Jarvis’s painting is tender and assured, a tonal study that connects the human body with its environment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJarvis has exhibited widely across Australia, and she has been a finalist and recipient of several art prizes, including the Gallipoli art prize in 2024.

Through a vivid colour palette and expressionist brushstrokes, Jarvis’ domestic scene feels animated - abundant with life, atmosphere, and movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJarvis has exhibited widely across Australia, and she has been a finalist and recipient of several art prizes, including the Gallipoli art prize in 2024.
