Gaze into the mirror and portray what you see. Join Arts Project Australia (APA) artist Jordan Dymke, and APA staff artist Suzie Brown for a watercolour workshop reflecting on the self. Jordan is well-versed in the art of self-portraiture and capturing the spirit of oneself in paint. He will share his expertise through a relaxed conversation, in advance of a solo self-portrait exhibition at Gertrude Glasshouse in 2026.

Jordan Dymke is an emerging multidisciplinary artist. He has a figurative-based practice that focuses on painting and drawing from life, self-portraiture, as well as being motivated by imagery and photographs he collects from magazines and online as well as the expressionist style of Auguste Rodin. His self-portraiture 2D and sculptural works — especially those featuring his hands — are an evocative and expressive investigations of his body and identity. Recently, he has been experimenting with charcoal utilising a unique smudging technique that imbues his work with a mysterious ambiguity. Dymke joined Art Projects Australia in 2012. He has featured in group exhibitions throughout Australia. His work is held in private collections throughout Australia.
