About

Hello, I am Jess.

I am an illustrator and I live in Devon in the UK.

These are my 2 dogs Tigger and Freddie.

Tiggy is a Staffy and Freddie is a Staffy X Terrier. They are the biggest reason I smile, so I named my brand after them!

I draw because I love it, its so much fun. I want that to come across in what you see. So much of life and art is serious but I think we all need a bit more joy. My favourite drawing materials are ink and watercolour because using them feels delicious.

Animals are my main inspiration in my art and in my life.

From a very young age I became fascinated by animals. I was lucky to be allowed lots of pets as a child. I would watch & rewatched David Attenborough's TV series.

A long time ago I did a Design Crafts Degree (that's making things) but it made me realise that I enjoy drawing much more. It has taken me a long time to do anything with my drawings because I've been a scaredy-cat!

My dream is to draw picture books because they're so magic, they set your imagination on fire. I still remember the pictures and stories from books from my childhood better than I do my times tables!
