Profile
| Biography
Jinari was born in Australia in 1975, a time of local political upheaval, rock music, post-war bitterness, hippy love (drugs and other stuff), and at the dawn of technological revolution, the globalisation of market economies and culture. This milieu has indelibly left an imprint on her outlook of the world, and continues to influence her art. Jinari has followed a strong line of women artists in her family. She attended Prince’s Hill Secondary College, and it was here that she learned formal techniques, and was rewarded with several state prizes in photography. She then attained a BA, and a BSc at Monash University, and a Dip in Holistic Counselling at Phoenix Institute. With art now as her major endeavour, she sells her works internationally and has worked with public and private clients as an Art Therapist, and as a facilitator of community art events. Artist's Statement I am interested in expressing something which evokes a deeper understanding of ourselves, others and the natural world. I draw on cultural understandings and symbols of diverse ethnic groups; looking regularly for the teachings and images that survive time and change, and always for those which are common to all. In addition to my own Celtic-Hungarian ancestry, I am privileged to have spent intimate time with indigenous peoples in Australia, America, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands. Informed by these experiences, a good portion of my art “work” is the process of opening and awakening myself enough to hear the Universe speaking. It is with respect that I then try to convey and understand the images which find me. It is truly awesome to surrender to the images, which come via dreams, meditation, and vision.
