About
Jade Scott-Jones (she/her) aka Drawn to Colour is an Autistic, Queer, Mixed Raced (Chinese/English) Illustrator and Graphics Artist based in Surrey, England.
Growing up she spent her School Holiday time between the UK and Malaysia where her mother’s family lives, through this she became acutely aware of differences in Cultures at a young age. In School, she was one of three non-white students in her year and was bullied for it. Due to the impact of these events, she has become a person who is extremely passionate about equality for all.
In her 30s she was diagnosed as being Autistic which brought a huge amount of clarity to her understanding of self. She started learning about Neurodiversity and how it affects people and the issues that Neurodiverse people have trying to cope with in the wider world.
Jade is very invested in bringing awareness to issues such as Gender, Sexuality, Race, Neurodiversity, Body Image, and the Environment to the greater world and fighting for everyone's right to be themselves without prejudice in a world that we protect. She believes in empowering people, breaking down stereotypes, and educating others.
Jade uses her art to help express her views on Equality, and the Environment, simplifying things into manageable sections. She wants to grab people’s attention with her art and start opening doors for conversations about these topics.
Jade enjoys the process of creating art, going through ideas, sketches, and creating the final piece of work. She likes to use a wide range of materials for creating her ideas. Including Digital, Paint, ink, and Pencil. She believes that each medium brings its own style to the image and helps bring it to life.
Currently Jade makes stickers in her free time to sell on Etsy. She likes to create logos for Fictional Companies as well as Stickers to support the LGBTQ+ community and Neurodiversity. She finds that her art style is very adaptable and is able to quickly imitate different styles depending on what is needed in the project. She likes to work in the two extremes of either all black ink on white or in Bright colours.
Jade has worked as a freelance designer, creating logos, advertising posters, and Social Media Banners for her Roller Derby team and Friends. Although she is entirely self-taught and has no formal training she is a keen and enthusiastic learner always ready to pick up something new and add it to her knowledge.
Jade has always had a fascination with Illustrated books, and Graphic Novels from a young age. She is now looking to make the move to being an Illustrator and pursuing what she loves to do. She believes that her background brings her an interesting point of view on the world and her love for art means she will be eager to create the best she can for the project. She wants to be able to share her love for the world around us and make people feel special when they see her work.
