Hiccup Art is the illustrative brand of Jennie Deane, so called as Jennie hiccups nearly every day.

From her studio in The Blue Mountains, she creates quirky, whimsical illustrations from her daydreaming imagination.  She is inspired by the beautiful surroundings of the Blue Mountains, the play of her young daughters, with a little bit of mischief sprinkled in.

Jennie uses pencil, fine pen, watercolour, gouache, collage, coloured pens and pencils as well as anything else she finds along the way.

Her artwork is sold around the mountains, at markets, local galleries, boutique stores and online.
