Little River Painter

This hobby artist, Jessie Sarfi, is a 2010 Advanced Graphic and Fine Artist 3 yr. Graduate from Sault College. She has also studied General Arts and Science for 1 year.

After graduating college she focused mainly in fine art.? Jessie enjoys fine art because it runs in the family. Her grandmother was her early inspiration.

Today Jessie Sarfi creates by the Little River in the Comox Valley.

“My art is a combination of media. The Comox Valley is my inspiration and has been my home for over 10 years. The little river runs through the yard I rent and it always changes with the tide. Therefore I see a lot of wildlife everyday. I try to paint something from my imagination rather then still life.”
