About me
Hello I'm Jessica, a designer and professional illustrator from West London. I'm my happiest and most authentic self when getting lost in a drawing, painting or detailed digital design.
Career:
I have film credits as a professional costume illustrator and costume concept artist and have worked on James Bond's Spectre amongst many other major titles. The artwork was created on a one on one basis with award winning Costume Designers of the films in either traditional hand drawn pencil illustrations, watercolours or digital fully rendered artwork depending on the nature of the film. In 2016 I set up my own art business creating bespoke commissions for private clients and have a collection of bespoke pet portraits, pencil portraits and original paintings.
Education:
I have most recently graduated as a graphic designer in April 2019 from Shillington college in London. In 2012 I studied Illustration Visual Communication and graduated with a First Class BA Honours Degree from Birmingham City University. In my final year I specialised in fashion illustration with a dissertation and body of artwork depicting the changes of female fashion silhouettes through the ages. I have also gained a Triple Distinction when studying Fine Art at Amersham & Wycombe College.
Achievements:
I have exhibited my artwork in group exhibitions, galleries and at Fine Art Fairs in: Richmond, Teddington, Kingston, Hampton Court and Esher. I was an exhibiting member of the Richmond Art Society.
