2021 artwork unveiled

CheckUP, as the coordinators of Queensland Mental Health Week, commissioned Townsville artist Jesse James to paint the official artwork for 2021.

Jesse’s created a piece that reflects the theme ‘Take time – for mental health’, which will be used to inform the visual identity and subsequent marketing materials created for the week.

“It’s wonderful to be part of such a great cause,” he said.

“I have been through depression myself in 2013 and having come out of that dark place, I have always been keen to get into the mental health field and have some form of artwork represent my own journey to help others.”
