My name is Jasmine. I am a collector and creator of anything decorative and visually interesting. I have been studying Illustration at University College Falmouth (tucked away in Cornwall) for the past few years. I like to base my images primarily on narrative material, the end result usually taking the form of images within a picture book or artworks for book covers and occasionally editorial work. I don’t like to confine myself to working for just one type of audience or age range, so I tend to adapt my way of working to suit. I start artwork using detailed pencil drawing, which I play up using inks and watercolours or digital colour, whichever is most appropriate.
I find inspiration in travelling, old fairytales, patterns, dreaming, music, writing, my illustrating friends, French children’s books, fashion, everyday situations and people watching.

I have a forever growing collection of lanterns, umbrellas, tiny sketchbooks, decorative paper, letters, dresses, ribbons, old train tickets, curious notes found on the street, paper butterflies and a whole host of other fairly useless objects, all of which influence my work in some way. I would hope that this collection will one day include old birdcages, roller-skates, musical instruments, chandeliers and unicorns, old radios and wallpaper.
