Philippa Jeffrey studied Fine Art and History of Art at Leeds University in 1996. Philippa then moved to London where she worked as a Fashion Producer for Conde Nast Publications. After having children, Philippa returned to her roots to became an artist, now painting from her Oxfordshire studio. Using botanical prints as a starting point, Philippa has developed a unique visual language, celebrating layers of colour, pattern and mark-making. Abstracted botanical paintings; a visual candy as opposed to an overly verbalised aesthetic. A decade of exposure within the world of fashion and magazines has undoubtedly informed Philippa’s vision - you only need to look to the catwalk or glossy journals to see a similarly calculated approach - a deliberate and conscious decision to use a particular colour, a specific form. She uses water based paints and a combination of board and canvas. She has also extensively renovated her family home and has applied her love of pattern and colour to countless interior projects. Philippa is happy to take on commissions and bespoke decorative requests.
