A vibrant celebration of feminist art and oceanic wonder just in time for International Women's Day
Have you ever found yourself mesmerised by the gentle, pulsating glow of a jellyfish? These transparent treasures have captivated humans for centuries with their otherworldly beauty – and now they're swimming onto our canvases at ART SIPPERS in a celebration of iconic feminist artist Judy Chicago's luminous aesthetic.
When Art Meets Activism: The Judy Chicago Connection
As International Women's Day approaches, we couldn't think of a more fitting artistic inspiration than Judy Chicago. Known for her groundbreaking work that challenged the male-dominated art world, Chicago pioneered techniques that create an inner radiance and glow – perfectly captured in our "Ello Jello" painting.
Chicago's revolutionary approach to art wasn't just about technical brilliance; it was about illuminating women's experiences and environmental concerns. Her ability to infuse objects with an ethereal luminosity speaks to bringing light to overlooked perspectives – a message that feels particularly relevant as we celebrate women's achievements worldwide.
The Jellyfish: Nature's Glowing Masterpiece
Our choice of subject isn't random either. Jellyfish represent some of nature's most resilient and adaptable creatures, having survived for over 650 million years through countless environmental changes. These ancient beings embody persistence and resilience – qualities celebrated during International Women's Day.
Beyond their symbolic significance, jellyfish also showcase nature's own mastery of Chicago's signature inner glow. Many species naturally bioluminesce, creating their own light in the ocean depths – a perfect parallel to how Chicago brings luminosity to her subjects.

There's something wonderfully mindful about focusing entirely on bringing a jellyfish to life on canvas, watching as your brush transforms blank dark space into a glowing ocean creature. It's not just about the finished painting – it's about the journey of creating it.
