Jess Douglas

Jess studied illustration at the university of Plymouth, but grew up on the Mediterranean island of Ibiza, and now lives in lyme Regis. "From grass to grey my journey brought me to Plymouth city where I found my work rebelling against my country upbringing and reflecting a growing interest in the grunge and grime of the urban environment. Everything I discover around me has potential... urban detritus, peeling paint and filthy concrete structures. I find the ugly and mundane to be beautiful, its character and stories inspiring." Illustrator and printmaker. Age:26
