About Jessica Swift
Welcome to my website! My name is Jessica, and I am a 25 year old artist from West Yorkshire. I graduated with a degree in Fine Art in 2021, and now love to create work to show in exhibitions and galleries.
I visit schools in the Bradford district as a practicing artist to run pottery and painting workshops, as well as working at different heritage sites and venues around West Yorkshire. I also work on the marketing team for a local arts centre. ​
​
I am on the steering board for the Thornton Arts Trail which was an Open Studios Art Trail taking place in Thornton. I am also on the steering board for The Story Pole Project which is a start up project to empower women in the Bradford district through installation artwork in outdoor spaces.
​
I have been a visiting artist in Chemnitz, Germany in 2023 and 2024 to teach pottery at their annual Makers United Festival in celebration of Bradford x Chemnitz 2025.
I specialize in:
- Abstract Painting
- Contemporary Sculpture
- Abstract Portraiture
- Mark Making
