with Jessie Upton
Hi, I’m Jess!
Jess or Jessie.
My pronouns are they/them.
Creative Art Therapist, AThR.
I am based in Naarm, Melbourne.
I am a proudly neurodivergent artist, systems & service designer, facilitator, and multimodal creative arts therapist.
I run workshops within communities, provide creative art therapy that is trauma-informed & neurodiversity-affirming, create work as an interdisciplinary artist, and make sounds using electronic instruments.
As Wanna Art About It, I host a neurodivergent peer group called Welcome to the Party Pal, which meets fortnightly IRL and online to connect, share and be creative together.

I didn’t expect to learn so much in such a short time. I really enjoyed learning how to incorporate creativity into my work day. ”
