About
Jodie Howard is an artist originally from the Peak District, now based near Cambridge, England. In 2020 she graduated from Cambridge School of Art after studying illustration, and since then has worked with a variety of clients including Gucci and Frieze London. She has been long-listed at the World Illustration Awards in three categories, and was awarded the Rising Star award by her University for the achievements made after graduation.
Her work is strongly influenced by the desire to create atmosphere and evoke feelings, with light sources being a significant focus in her work. Her work depicts many subjects but is consistently anchored in the places she has been, and the memories they hold.
Jodie’s works in gouache, pencils and pastels - often combining them together. Her work is rooted in observational drawing and sketchbook work, with pieces often being directly inspired by her previous on-site drawings.
