Meet Jess

a freelance Illustrator!

Jess grew up in Niagara, Ontario, and loves making pictures with a vibrant, flat, and lumpy quality.  Her work is strongly influenced by toys from the ’90s, slightly unnerving ceramic clowns, and candy wrappers. She often explores the messy experiences of being human, and our relationship to our junk.

She earned her BFA from Sheridan College's Bachelor of Illustration program.
