About Me

My name is Jaz Parker and I'm a multi-media Illustrator based in Brighton. Dabbling in Digital Art, Embroidery, Lino & Mono Printing and traditional drawing. I adore creating whimsical, emotionally charged pieces of art. Focusing on topics such as Grief, OCD and mental illness, and the general musings of an exsistential 20-something-year old woman; here are some of my favourite projects.

Projects

Female Hysteria Project

While studying in third year my final piece was surrounded by the concept of 'Female Hysteria'. Here I took to Embroidery, commonly seen throughout history as a predominantly 'womans' skill- and wrote quotes from a few pieces of literature that involved 'hysterical' women.

Female Hysteria Project- Uterus Lino

Here once again is a response to the female hysteria project I undertook; creating a lino cut uterus and overlaying black and red ink. I was going for a somewhat frantic and manic look.

Female Hysteria Project- Beth Mason Uterus

Here's one of the pieces of my final piece to my Female hysteria project. This was a response to the character 'Beth Mason' from the novel 'Jane Eyre'.

Female Hysteria Project- 'The Arch'

Here I over-layed black and red ink on a Lino print that portrays the widely known image of a hysterical women suffering, contorting in bed while under affliction.
