Jessica (b.1992) is a thoughtful and delightful member of Art4All who is profoundly deaf.  Learning can be difficult for Jessica, British Sign Language is her means of communication.

Jessica has a huge love for animals, in particular cats and dogs. She contributes to the community through volunteering at RSPCA Thanet and their charity shop in Westgate. Jessica has kindly donated some of her proceeds from art sales to the RSPCA.

During her art workshop sessions it’s become clear that Jessica enjoys planning and making art that is personal, typically using a stencil which is cut for her.  More recently she is producing her distinctive cat paintings from a simple line drawing.  She enjoys applying paint either with a brush or roller to add colour to complete her paintings and painted collages.

Jessica appreciates seeing her artwork on display, sharing the space with her family and occasionally working at the exhibitions. Jessica’s cat paintings are proving to be very popular. She has had many sales across the UK and further afield - one has recently found a new home in Oman, this has given her much self believe back in the studio.
