Jessica Howard-Browne paints from a place shaped by memory, movement and the vast Australian landscape. Her works draw on the colours, rhythms and stories of the desert, creating compositions that feel both ancestral and contemporary. Echoes of Tomorrow introduces an artist whose practice is rooted in observation and quiet transformation.

Each painting carries the sense that the land remembers, and that memory continues to move through colour, pattern and story.

 Echoes of Tomorrow brings together a group of works that chart the evolution of Jessica Howard-Browne’s visual language. Born and raised in Australia, Howard-Browne has long been drawn to the vastness of the outback and the way its quiet details reveal themselves to those who spend time looking closely. Her practice is deeply connected to this landscape. It informs the palette she gravitates toward, the patterns she repeats and the sense of motion that carries across each canvas. Rather than depicting the desert as still or empty, Howard-Browne approaches it as a living archive. Tracks, shifting sands, underground networks and bush foods all become markers of presence and resilience. Her compositions often begin with washes of ochre, gold or red earth tones that evoke both heat and depth. These grounds are then layered with line work, symbols and pathways that reference lived experience and cultural memory. The result is a body of work that feels at once intimate and expansive. Howard-Browne’s process balances intuition with structure. She often describes painting as a way to reconnect with stories she absorbed growing up, whether through family, local knowledge or the landscapes she encountered. Many of the works in this presentation speak of movement, navigation and the instinctual knowledge that guides both people and animals across long distances. They suggest a world where the visible surface is only part of the story, and where meaning is carried through layers of history, environment and personal reflection. Echoes of Tomorrow is also an introduction to the next chapter of her practice. While each painting draws from the traditions and visual systems that shaped her, they also push toward something new. Colour becomes more luminous, compositions more intricate and the idea of transformation more central. What emerges is a painterly vocabulary grounded in place yet open to reinvention, one that honours the past while looking with clarity toward what lies ahead.
