Jessica Hills is a painter living and working in Linkenholt, Hampshire.
Her versatility in the oil painting medium allows her to explore a wide
variety of subjects including racing and military scenes, landscapes,
wildlife, botanicals and her unique ‘roomscapes’. She studied Fine Art
and Art History at Goldsmiths and has since added to her studies at
the London Fine Art Studios and Sarum Studio in Salisbury.
Jess prepares her own wood panels, sanding and adding layers of gesso
and an underpainting in burnt sienna to give a luminosity to each
painting. She then works wet into wet and employs glazing so that
each area of the painting holds interest as well as the overall scene.
Jess has recently been commissioned by The King’s Troop Royal Horse
Artillery to commemorate their role in the coronation of King Charles
III. Coming from a family entwined with racing she is thrilled to be
celebrating the Sport of Kings in ‘Impressions of the Turf’. Quick Change, oil on board, 18 x 24 cm
