About me

Originally from the Fens, I am an illustrator/designer, just finishing my studies (BA illustration) at Cambridge School of Art. I work in a variety of media, both traditionally and digitally (and frequently a combination of the two). My work is widely informed by my interests in flora and fauna, as well as my enthusiasm for learning, which often manifests as small, meticulous collections of visual information. I enjoy exploring texture and subtlety, seeking to achieve a sensitive and tender quality to my work. In addition to this, I am committed to maintaining a sustainable practice, so this is a theme that can be seen in many of my pieces too. http://www.jay-wright.co.uk/

As a graphic recorder I had to be organised and manage my time effectively to ensure that I had prepared my materials for each lecture. I also had to be able to think on my feet, and make quick decisions whilst listening to the lecturer, in order to create a live, visual aid for the audience.
