01 INTRODUCTION

Jess Kidd is a multi-disciplinary visual artist exploring mixed media painting. Inspired by work that makes us rethink the everyday.

“Jess has the great gift of seeing. She has the ability to apprehend seemingly mundane scenes, to capture moments that stimulate the senses and provoke powerful emotional responses to her work.

Her winning piece created for the Scott Creative Arts Foundation Emerging Artist Award 2023, Searching for the Light No.4, in its depiction of light on a simple skip is both joyful and uplifting, despite its literal representation of a building in transition and the perhaps darker story behind it.”
