Bigger Pleasures

“Den is made in reference to making a home and having a family. My son was born in March 2020 just as the first lockdown began, it has been a year of nesting and playing and making and learning so much as a new family.” - Jessica Jane Charleston, 2021

Jessica Jane Charleston graduated from the Royal Drawing School in 2017 and continues to see drawing as the heart of her work. Drawing from herself, her son and her imagination feed into her paintings, clay figures and cut-outs.
