Jessica Pemberton
I love surrounding myself with things that make you smile. As an artist I try create work that emphasises the joy of colour, print and playfulness.
I studied at The Royal College Of Art and work across a variety of mediums, from textiles and printmaking to paperwork collage. I am inspired by the collected items around me in my studio, discovered through countless trips to antique fairs, car boots or forgotten cupboards. Much of it is vintage, nostalgic and fun. I aim to create pieces that will cheer up a room, whether that be in colour, print or subject matter.
I feel that throughout life it is important to be surrounded by something that makes you smile, and that is what I want my work to be about.
Jessica's Inspiration
Jessica wants to add a burst of playfulness to daily life; her inspiration has been found in the flowers viewed from her studio garden, as well as vintage vases, prints and patterns, discovered through countless trips to antique fairs or in forgotten cupboards.
Through the use of hand painting techniques, cut and placed paper shaped, vintage wallpaper and gouache paint, Jessica expresses her belief in the importance of being surrounded by small expressions and personal belongings that bring you joy.
