Museums and Galleries

Galleries and museums are my passion, bringing art and heritage to life and engaging audiences through heritage and cultural education. Until 2019, I was privileged to work as the Senior Learning and Outreach Officer at Rugby Art Gallery and Museum for over 13 years which thoroughly developed my love of the sector. I now specialise in working as a illustrator for museums and galleries, utilising my experience to interpret collections. Past clients include National Paralympic Heritage Trust, Nuneaton Museum and Art Gallery, Historic England, World Golf Museum, Gunnersbury Park and Museum, The British Motor Museum, Delapre Abbey, Fydell House, Wolverhampton Art Gallery, Sporting Heritage, Carlisle Cathedral and Ladbroke Heritage.

Family trails and hunts around your venue or grounds are a great way of engaging people of all ages and to navigate certain routes in a fun and interactive way.  Working from a brief, Jessi Illustrates is able to develop and deliver exciting content, activities and illustrations through imaginative design.
