My Story

Hi I’m Jade, I’m an artist and illustrator based in beautiful Kent countryside.

I grew up in sunny South Africa, which is where I draw upon a lot of my inspiration for my artwork and where my strong love of animals and the outdoors were born.

Studying art direction in the advertising world and learning all the important foundations in design, is where my art journey began. I now run a design agency with my husband, but it was only whilst I was pregnant and taking a break from the agency world that I started painting again in my free time. Inspired by my bump and blank walls in my little ones nursery, I started creating wonderful little creatures of all shapes and sizes, hoping they will bring my bubbas joy whilst growing up.

I try to capture the whimsical and magical elements of nature and people.

I fell in love with using watercolours again, so this along with digital is the perfect blend of mediums for me - I get the best of both worlds.

I also love fine line work, so you’ll spot my squiggly ink marks here, there and everywhere. I then use foils on my prints, which are applied by hand to finish selected artworks, to add some extra special love and magic.

I take on private commissions, including prints, books and book cover designs. I’ve recently launched the book Beyond the Storm, with another in the pipeline, so watch this space!

If you would like a chat about a project, or something special you had in mind, just drop me an email :)

Much love,
