I’m Jaz, and I’m multi-media Illustrator. I adore creating often times whimsical, emotionally charged pieces of art. I typically like to focus on topics surrounding Grief, Women, OCD and mental illness, and the general musings of an existential 20-something-year-old. I try to illustrate these  somewhat heavy topics in a way that feels personal to me, and perhaps that can feel personal to others, too.

The project I’ve shown was exploring the concept of Female Hysteria. I delved into looking at iconic characters from media and literature, and took to presenting them through embroidery, once a predominately female skill and art form; and by using this method, it made me feel somewhat connected to my project in my own way.
