My art story began with a foundation degree from Warwickshire College where I learnt the fundamentals and fell in love with painting. Since then, I have enjoyed learning new techniques and building my skills. From a love for what you do comes a lifetime of self learning; I’ve recently added oil painting, screen printing, and even face painting to my portfolio.

My business, JT Illustration, was started part-time in 2012, but I’m delighted that it is now my full-time occupation. In 2022 I made the decision to launch my new brand Jemma Taylor. The growth of the business has partly been the result of working with organisations such as the Belgrade Theatre Production Services, and a local charity called No More Floor. My work has also been exhibited in restaurants and galleries across the Warwickshire area. My first pieces were done for family, like the fairy-tale themed wall murals for my niece. I then went on to paint nursery murals, and large full wall landscapes.
