Jessy Illustrates NZ

About me:

Jessica Harrison

Hi, I’m an artist and illustrator based in Picton, New Zealand.

Through my work, I hope to spark joy, invite a smile, and create a sense of connection — encouraging a deeper appreciation for the beautiful wildlife we share our world with.

Raising my son has deeply influenced my creative journey, shaping the gentle, imaginative worlds.

I work in oil, acrylic watercolour and coloured pencil, depending on the anticipated result.

I find great joy in transforming my illustrations into thoughtfully designed products and souvenirs. From bookmarks and greeting cards to small keepsakes inspired by New Zealand wildlife, I love creating pieces that allow people to take a little story — and a little piece of Aotearoa — home with them.

All of my work is designed and made in small batches in my Picton studio, with care and attention to detail.

I welcome private commissions and collaborations — please feel free to get in touch to talk through ideas.

HR specialist and mobile fur distributor.

Studio companion, beach explorer, and professional cuddle provider.

Amy is never far from the creative process — whether she’s keeping watch over the studio, joining me for walks along the Sounds, or generously sharing her fur on every outfit I own. She brings warmth, loyalty, and endless joy to our home.
