Jessica Halmshaw
Artist & Illustrator
Hello! I'm Jessica!
​
I grew up absorbing the world around me, forming stories and sketches since I could hold a pencil. Highlights of my young career include exhibiting outside the big Sainsbury's in my hometown and winning a Blue Peter badge in 1998!
​
Since then my work has been on a journey through the hustle and bustle of London, the windy hills of Durham to the quaint streets of Leiden, NL, and now to the coastal comfort and rolling beauty of Hampshire.
​
I'm currently developing greetings cards for heritage venues, drawing from the landscape and history of each place, whilst showcasing the uniqueness and artefact collections of each location.
I spend my time dreaming of things that quiet the heart and mind, finding inspiration from nature, history and the cultivation of cosy moments. I ultimately aim to create a sense of peace and finding home, wherever you are.​​
