" I love wrapping heavy truths in humour and sharp linework - making big political and social topics feel approachable, less intimidating and more like something we can all laugh at, cry about, and
change together."

About
Amy Jackson is a freelance artist and illustrator currently living in Swansea, Wales. Specialising in a pointillism or dotwork style, her illustrations explore social and environmental themes with a twist. From logos to large murals, Amy's surreal designs have been featured in films and magazines, including my NHS Portrait Series. She strives to create a sense of comfort and warmth in her illustrations, echoing the past and Welsh culture.
She grew up in Swansea, and studied art throughout her school years, despite her struggle with Selective Mutism, (now known as situational mutism). She studied an Art and Design Foundation Course at Llwyn-y-Bryn College in 2015, and attended Trinity Saint David’s University in 2016, and graduated with a BA (Hons) in Illustration. From there, Amy has been working as a freelance illustrator and her shop, AJ JIllustration.
Amy loves exploring important topics, trying to interpret them and package the message in a way that is easier to consume or interesting to dissect, often with a twist of humour or in a tongue in cheek way. She specializes in a dotwork or pointillism style, using pen and ink to create thousands of dots that result in striking pieces.
Amy has an online store where you can purchase prints and products of most of her designs. She often has stalls at craft fairs and pop up shops, so keep an eye out for any upcoming events on her social media pages or to see past events.
Amy is available for collaborations and commissions, to reach her please email info@ajillustration.co.uk to discuss enquiries or fill in the form below.
