Jessica Smith

Jess is a recent graduate from Falmouth University and is currently living in a small town near Oxford.

Her work consists of simple shapes and bright colours, she makes these work by layering these shapes and playing with opacity and shadows. She enjoys working conceptually and so scale and perspective play a large role within the images that she makes. Her work comes across fairly decorative at first but she tries to include other hidden things within it. Jess’ clients include Simon & Schuster, Scholastic and Oxford University Press.
