About the Artist
Jessop Doxx (Hailee Araya)

Born and raised in Lund—a quaint university town tucked into the southern stretch of Sweden. Hailee Araya creates under the pseudonym Jessop Doxx. The name is a playful homage to Violet Jessop, the legendary nurse who survived both the Titanic and the Britannic, earning her the nickname “The Unsinkable Violet.”Much like her namesake, Jessop Doxx carries a quiet defiance, translating resilience into brushstrokes. “Doxx” nods to the vulnerable act of self-exposure she experiences each time her work is unveiled to the world.

She began painting at the age of eight, quietly experimenting with watercolor on paper before evolving into her current mediums: acrylic and gouache on canvas. Today, her style straddles abstraction and surrealism-deeply intuitive, unapologetically imaginative, and always emotionally charged.

“I paint abstract because I like not knowing how the story ends. People often say it feels surreal, which I guess is true—it’s all fantasy. When I do commissioned work, I start by getting a feel for the client’s inner world. It’s 50% me, 50% soul-scrying.”
– Jessop Doxx

Jessop’s work is a constant exploration stylistically fluid and deeply personal. Whether it’s dream logic, ancestral echoes, or quiet emotional chaos, her paintings serve as portals into the subconscious.
