Jessica Glover is an artist currently living and working in Coventry. Glover’s work draws inspiration from observational moments of everyday life, focusing on mark making using different mediums; traditional and digital.
She graduated with a BA Hons in Fine Art at Falmouth University in 2018 and a Distinction in the Art and Design Foundation Diploma at Coventry University in 2015.
Glover has previously been awarded commissions, MIDAS Transitions at Newlyn Gallery, and Random String Festival with Ludic Rooms. She has recently finished working on a project for the University of Warwick and University College Birmingham. These works have exhibited in traditional gallery spaces as a solo show and in public spaces, responding to locations with collaborators. Rites for Crossing Water was a collaborative response to Coventry Canal, the animated response was projected across three billboards and accompanied the collaborators music.
Recently Glover's work has explored community through collaborations and a series of workshops on mark making in nature. The workshops embraced the imperfections of the making process and created a space to reflect in group critiques.
