Jenny’s style is rooted in the organic fluidity of line and watercolour, often matched with the serendipity of found materials collage. She loves exploring ideas visually and through the juxtaposition of word and image, so her illustration work delivers meaning and immediacy in a clear colourful package, extensively edited on the computer but still retaining the signature touches of hand drawn and painted elements (what she likes to call the yummy bits).
Jenny is currently based in North London, where she works on a plethora of projects and teaches Art 3 days a week. She works on commission for professional and private clients as well as regularly providing live drawing at events and fairs. She likes birds, words, wearing lots of necklaces at once, competitive cookery programs and riding her bike around London.
