Jess Mason studied BA Hons Illustration at the University of Worcester and graduated with a First in 2018. Her main interest is creating illustrations for children, and she enjoys a variety of themes and genres in her work. Particularly she is drawn to narratives that are full of adventure, humour and with just a little bit of fantasy. Jess takes inspiration from folk art, medieval manuscripts, Renaissance maps and film to create illustrations that are characterful and atmospheric, using a combination of hand-rendered and digital processes. She lives in Worcester, England.
