Degree Show, 2022

At the end of her fine art degree at Loughborough University, Jessamine unveiled a series of six original, hand-crafted oil paintings at her final degree show. This collection marked the culmination of a style honed and refined since her foundation year in 2019. Inspired by the works of Mark Rothko and various colour theorists, Jessamine aimed to transform the exhibition space into a meditative sanctuary. Each painting invited viewers to immerse themselves in a contemplative journey through colour, aiming to evoke a sense of tranquility and introspection.

She successfully curated a serene atmosphere that resonated deeply with visitors, receiving enthusiastic feedback for the immersive experience created. This pivotal exhibition served as a catapult for her dynamic career, garnering significant recognition and solidifying her artistic identity in the art world. The pieces showcased not only Jessamine’s technical prowess but also her ability to evoke profound emotional responses through colour and composition.
