Hello there! I'm Jay Anderson, a professional designer, visual artist, mother of 2 lovely girls and a bit of a traveler.
Over the last 20 years I've been lucky enough to work as a childrens fashion illustrator, graphic designer, textile designer and mixed media artist, I love working from sources such as mixed media, textures, lettering and imagery here at my wee studio in the heart of Fife, Scotland.
I graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee, far too many years ago to remember. My clients have mostly been UK companies such as Marks & Spencer, Boots, Debenhams and Next etc to name a few but it’s my personal work that allows me to explore and go off on creative tangents.
My creative process is continually influenced by my interest in texture, fabric, typography, pattern and paper. I can get lost when working on a medium that has already has sense of form and shape, so papers, fabrics or packaging materials, for example, get altered from their original state and combined with type, print, drawing or shapes to produce a piece of work.
An important aspect of my work is intuitive with inspiration often coming from a photograph I’ve taken or references that I’ve stored in my studio for many many months until the time is right for me to use them. I bring them together to explore the abstract traces of experiences and visual thoughts I have – ever changing and varied.
