Jessica Holmes lives and works in London. She studied at Wimbledon School of Art (1998-2002) and the Royal Academy Schools (2003-2006), and has exhibited extensively in the UK, as well as the USA, South Korea, France and Greece.

Holmes’ practice is inspired by archival materials and historical sites, using elements of these to focus on artefacts and places at the point where the past and present meet, questioning memory and interpretation. Her work sits on the cusp of exterior and interior, as rambling vegetation and peeling, decaying surface are brought together in painting.
