I love working in a number of mediums, including painting and printmaking. My pictures have been displayed in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and London’s Mall Galleries, and I have also been a contestant in Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year.
You’ll see quite a lot of my pet cats in my work, as they’re always on hand to “help” me in my studio, where I have a half-tonne Victorian style printing press. I also love to get out and about to paint and draw and you can watch me braving winter weather to paint in this piece by BBC news:
I am available for commissions, from landscapes to pet portraits or a picture of your house for you to treasure. If you’d like to talk to me about a possible commission please get in touch on 07790 995040 or jessicaroseartist@gmail.com.
Customer comments:
“I purchased your painting ‘Bunny Park church in Spring’ for friends who were celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary, having married at the church 25 years ago. When we presented the painting to our friends one of them cried and both were moved, it was simply the perfect gift. Thank you so much for your talent, the images on your website do not do justice to your art work once you see it in the flesh.”
Tracy Dickson, Kingston
“Received your watercolour painting the next day after we ordered it. Fabulous painting, we are very pleased with it. We had the painting framed and it looks fantastic. We bought it for a friend as a birthday gift and they are over the moon with it.”
Andrew Moore, Yorkshire
“Thank you for the pet portrait you did of my uncle’s dog, which recently passed away. My uncle is not a very handsy emotional person but he gave me a hug when I gave him the painting and was very slightly teary. So thank you again for such a special gift.”
Natasha Gupta, Greenford, Middlesex
“I am the lucky person who snapped up Jessica’s lovely painting of Hanwell Locks and it’s now sat in my narrowboat and will be passing through the very lock many times over the years to come. It’s even better when it’s in front of you than on the computer screen and it was lovely to meet Jessica, who is a very talented artist.”
Thomas Bicherdike, narrowboat owner, Brentford
How I make a linocut print:
I love doing reduction linocut prints, which I use to achieve layers of bold colour by successive cutting away of areas of the block during the printing process. This is how I make a reduction linocut:
With a reduction print there is no going back and the whole edition must be finished at the same time, resulting in an original, limited edition range of pictures.
