Hi I’m Jessica, thanks for stopping by!

I’ve always been drawn to the places where art, science, and human psychology intersect. My work explores our uneasy relationship with the natural world—how we shape it, how it shapes us, and the strange, self-destructive way we continue to harm what we rely on to survive. It’s a kind of horror show like not being able to look away from a traffic accident, witnessing our species strike the match, stand back, and watch the house burn.

Living by the sea in the North East of England, the coastline is both my muse and my teacher. Being outside is essential to my process. It reminds me why I paint: to tell stories of connection, loss, resilience—and to pause the churn of everyday life long enough to feel awe. I want my work to be a moment of reckoning and reverence. A call to slow down. A push to protect. A recognition that we are not separate from nature—we are tangled up in it. I aim to ignite a sense of responsibility and wonder, prompting viewers to recognise their role and challenge them to break the cycle of wanton destruction of our world.

This fascination is rooted in lived experience. I burned out working in a corporate science role, surrounded by profit-driven polluters. I left, seeking something slower, truer. In nature I found a different kind of knowledge—one that quieted the noise and opened up wonder. I started noticing the miracles again: the way ecosystems balance themselves, the adaptations of plants and animals, and how fragile it all is, and how we can so easily tip that balance.
