BIO

Jess Petley is  an artist and illustrator, primarily creating works on paper in biro, coloured pencil, gel pens, pastels and watercolour.
Her practice  is inspired by the aesthetic culture of‘girliness’: notebooks filled with glitter, doodles scrawled on the margins of a of a page, gossip magazines, fluffy diaries.
Her style is defined by delicate, illustrative forms, constructing a make-believe world seeped in nostalgia.  
Mirroring the language of journalling through drawing, she dissects and ruminates on emotions and memories, articulating what she cannot with words.
