Artist Jessica Baker’s journey with abstract flowers began with her early days of experimenting with resin and creating poppies. Resin was essential to her initial work, helping her explore the fluidity and dynamic textures. As one of the early artists to use resin on such a large scale in Australia, Jessica pushed the medium’s boundaries and allowed it to shape her artistic style. Her work with resin gave her the control and skill she needed to move into creating bold, expressive abstract flowers.
The transition from resin-based poppies to her current collections of abstract flowers was a natural evolution in Jessica’s art. As she developed her voice, she moved toward large-scale floral compositions that combined her love of abstraction with the organic beauty of flowers. Her early resin works laid the foundation for the vibrant energy that now defines her abstract flowers paintings.
Early Days: Resin and Poppies
Jessica’s early career focused on mastering resin as a medium. She was fascinated by its ability to flow and take on organic shapes, mimicking nature’s unpredictable beauty. In these early years, she created abstract poppies, using resin to create flowing lines and bold colours. Resin allowed her to control the fluidity of her compositions, leading to highly detailed and textured pieces that captured the essence of flowers without literal representation.
Her abstract poppies reflected her growing interest in combining structure and chaos, a theme that continues to run through her work today. As she perfected her technique, Jessica realised that resin was only one tool in her artistic toolkit, and she began to explore other media to push her floral abstractions even further.
Evolving Into Abstract Flowers
As Jessica’s confidence in her artistic voice grew, so did her desire to explore larger and bolder themes. Her shift into abstract flowers was a defining moment in her career. She expanded her canvas size and began to explore colour in a much more expressive way. The fluidity she had honed with resin was still there, but now she expressed it through brushstrokes, layers of paint, and vibrant colour schemes.
The journey from resin poppies to large-scale abstract flowers felt like a natural progression for Jessica. Her abstract flowers became a way to experiment with texture, space, and the boundaries of abstraction. She found inspiration in nature, but her aim was never to replicate it. Instead, Jessica sought to capture the emotion and energy flowers could evoke, transforming them into bold, expressive works of art.
Cartel Flowers Collection
One of Jessica’s first major explorations into abstract flowers was her Cartel Flowers collection. This series features large-scale florals with a distinctly abstract twist. She uses a variety of bold colours, expansive brushstrokes, and accents to create works that feel both luxurious and organic. Each piece in the collection radiates energy, transforming the room it occupies into a vibrant space.
What sets Cartel Flowers apart from traditional floral artworks is how Jessica plays with scale and abstraction. The flowers in these pieces are not literal representations; instead, they are impressions of florals, abstracted to the point where they feel more like an explosion of colour and form. Jessica’s use of neutral Belgian linen gives these works a sense of luxury, making them ideal for anyone looking to add a bold statement to their home.
Graffiti Flowers Collection
Building on the success of Cartel Flowers, Jessica’s Graffiti Flowers collection explored abstract flowers into new, edgier territory. Inspired by street art and urban landscapes, this collection merges floral themes with graffiti-style textures and colours. The result is a unique blend of nature and city life, a meeting of organic forms and gritty urban energy.
Graffiti Flowers is a perfect example of Jessica’s willingness to push the boundaries of what floral art can be. These pieces feature bold colours and abstract floral forms against rough, textured backgrounds.
Jessica experiments with more saturated colours and stark contrasts in this collection, giving the works a dynamic and almost rebellious energy. Graffiti Flowers is perfect for those who want to introduce a bit of edge and contemporary flair into their spaces.
Street Flowers Collection
Jessica’s Street Flowers collection takes the urban influences from Graffiti Flowers and pushes them even further. This series features bold, abstract floral compositions against solid, block-colour backgrounds, strikingly contrasting the organic and the structured.
Street Flowers is perhaps Jessica’s most experimental collection of abstract flowers. The flowers in these pieces are reduced to their most essential forms, often just bold dollops of colour or abstracted shapes that suggest florals without defining them. The block-colour backgrounds give the pieces a sense of structure and balance, while the abstract florals bring movement and life.
The bold, solid colours in the backgrounds allow the abstract flowers to stand out even more, creating a powerful visual impact. These pieces are perfect for modern and heritage interiors, where their clean lines and bold colours can complement minimalist decor or stand in contrast to more eclectic spaces.
Commissions and Custom Abstract Flowers
Jessica is often commissioned to create custom client pieces, tailoring her abstract flowers to suit specific spaces and preferences. Whether you are looking for a particular colour palette or need a piece that fits an exact size, Jessica is happy to work with clients to create one-of-a-kind artwork.
Her commission process allows for a high level of personalisation, making sure that the final piece complements the existing design of the space. Whether you are furnishing a modern home or a more traditional setting, Jessica’s abstract flowers can be adapted to match the decor perfectly.

A Family Affair: Nicki Baker-Comelli
Jessica’s sister, Nicki Baker-Comelli, is also an accomplished artist known for her pop art oil paintings. Nicki’s collections, Just Do It and The Pantry, feature smaller, colourful works that perfectly complement Jessica’s larger abstract flowers. While Jessica’s style is bold and expressive, Nicki’s pop art pieces bring a playful energy that can balance or enhance her sister’s works.
