Artist - Designer - Illustrator
Milly Jackson is a contemporary artist and illustrator with a BA in Fashion Design from Nottingham Trent University. Her work combines hand-drawn, digital, and collage techniques to create portraits that are bold, surreal, and graphic in style. Her pieces are colourful and playful on the surface, yet carry personal reflections and narratives exploring themes of womanhood and identity.
Milly has worked with clients including Selfridges and Liberty London, and has lectured at several universities. As a live illustrator, she created on-the-spot drawings at brand events and venues such as the Royal Opera House and the Natural History Museum. More recently, her work has been exhibited in shows including Surreal Solihull, Birmingham Open 2025, and at Seventh Circle Gallery.
