About

Jessica Bird is an award-winning Scottish artist and fashion illustrator based in London. Jessica worked in the fashion industry before becoming a full time artist in 2018.

Now primarily working as a fashion illustrator Bird’s work often focusses on the moving body and capturing its brief moments of stillness. She has a talent at capturing the pace of the people and objects she draws, ensuring everything is alive through her spontaneous, improvised strokes. Working with highly pigmented paint, brightly coloured chalk pastel and willow charcoal Jessica's intuitive hand is guided by her medium, the environment of her subjects and colour.
