Jessica Zoob trained at Central School of Arts and Nottingham University. For seven years she worked as a theatre designer under the name of Jessica Tyrwhitt. Her credits include; Hampstead Theatre, The Royal National Theatre, Bristol Old Vic, The Gate and Greenwich Theatre.
Jessica now works exclusively as a painter and is inspired by the landscape. You can often see the influence of having lived in China, where a rich palette and a dancing line interplay on her paintings. The poetic quality of her work creates a rich and emotional response from the viewer. This spirituality and beauty is accomplished by what she can achieve with the textures and depth of colour from using oil paint and also from using acrylic paint for its capacity to change or enhance colours. Her paintings recall the abstract works of Gerhard Richter and the later works of Claude Monet, however, her work has an innate energy and beauty of its own, seldom found in contemporary abstract paintings. Her work is held in private collections in the UK and worldwide.
