The works of artist J R Shepherd mix botany, landscape, astronomy and scale and are permeated with the qualities of romanticism, longing and curiosity. The themes of light and dark engage with myths and dreams in order to explore what it is to yearn for sensibility and emotion in an increasingly automated world.
Her studios are based in London, UK and Granada, Spain. She has published two books and released a soundtrack with musician Derek Thompson for her last solo exhibition 'Leafscape'.
J R Shepherd is also a writer, teacher and curator and collaborates with institutions, artists and scientists around the world. She established Inky Leaves Publishing in 2017 to promote the work of other artists in her field.
