Jacob is a young practising artist, living and working in Lincolnshire. He recently completed a Fine Art course at Nottingham Trent University and was the runner-up in last year’s Riverhead Art Competition with his painting of the theatre exterior.

Jacob began painting for his own healing from the loss of a loved one. Now, years later, his works reflect the perspective and wisdom he has gained along his journey. In the works that he has painted for this exhibition he is attempting to tap into the invisible and abstract experience of what it is to be human, in all its pain and beauty.
