In the News!

It’s been quite the week this week! Just before Christmas, I was contacted by the University of Wolverhampton (the University I studied Graphic Design at) as they wanted to write a piece on me and my business for their news page. I was quite excited by this and gave a full interview on myself and how I came to draw pet portraits for a living. You can read the full article here: https://www.wlv.ac.uk/about-us/news-and-events/latest-news/2018/january-2018/art-graduate-creates-animal-magic-with-pet-portraits.php

This news piece was then noticed by the Express and Star newspaper who wanted to create a short write up on my work and printed it in Tuesday’s (9/1/18) paper! Being in the newspaper and having my artwork seen by all who read it was a dream of mine as a little girl so to have it come true felt amazing.

I’ve also been contacted by Derwent pencils to be a resident art blogger which is highly exciting! This week they send me a range of pencils they would like me to use and review, so in the next few weeks I’ll be writing a blog post for their own site. Watch this space!

Jess Pritchard is a self taught, multi-award winning artist from the UK. From a a young age she has a passion for both art and wildlife so naturally combined the two. After studying Graphic Communication at University and a short career in Graphic Design, she realised that path wasn’t for her so dusted off the pencils and began her artistic career. ‘I come to know the personality of each face I draw and transfer it onto the paper for all to see’ Each piece she creates is highly detailed, bringing the animal to life which is something that can only be truly appreciated in person. No photo can capture the depth and magnitude of each drawing.
