The Artist's Wall
The Artist's Wall is a space we have dedicated to both established and up-and-coming artists in our community.
Each month Picton Social features a new artist's artwork which can be admired while enjoying our great food and great coffee. It can also be purchased directly from the cafe.
If you are an artist looking to showcase your masterpieces and would love to gain a little more exposure, simply contact us via email hello@pictonsocial.com - we are always on the lookout for new artists.
Artist of the Month - October 2026 - Meraki Artists
Featuring in the month of October are the Meraki Artists
Meraki artists:
“Meraki” is a Greek word that means
“To do something with soul, creativity, or love, when you leave a piece of yourself in your work.”
This is the approach artists take and the result they endeavour to achieve in their work. It gives each of them a challenging personal benchmark to assess the quality and success of their art.
Meraki artists:
A Gathering of Passion, Purpose, and Creative Voice
Meraki Artists is a group of artists, each with a passion for expressing ourselves through visual art. Though our styles are diverse, we share a common love for storytelling, beauty, and creativity. Every piece we create holds a part of who we are.
From bold digital cityscapes and dreamy florals to detailed photography and nostalgic scenes, our works reflect different perspectives and moods. You’ll see emotional depth, fine detail, and a sense of joy woven through it all.
Together, we exhibit, collaborate, and support one another as we bring our art into the world. Whether you are a collector, a fellow artist, or someone who simply enjoys art that speaks from the heart, we invite you to discover the spirit of Meraki.
Each of us creates with meaning. Each work has a voice.
Come and see which one speaks to you.
Jess Hutchison - Artist
Since introducing The Artist's Wall, many of our patrons have been treated to pieces by the ever so talented Jess Hutchison. Jess' artwork is a permanent fixture in the cafe. Her bright and colourful prints adorn our bar area and have been very popular amongst our customers. All Jess Hutchison art on display in the cafe is available for purchase, inclusive of frame.
A little bit about Jess
Jess Hutchison is a self-taught artist based on the South Coast of NSW. She grew up in the Illawarra and now resides in the Shoalhaven.
Inspired by her surroundings, and with a deep love of colour, her vibrant artworks feature some of Australia's most colourful flora and fauna. She paints in a unique style that blends realism with quirky, loose and colourful lines - and she adds her signature linework eye detailing to most of her birds (a throwback to her make-up artistry background).
Working primarily with acrylic and Posca markers on canvas, she hopes to create a connection and evoke a sense of calm and happiness through her art.
