Who is she?

Jeanne Louise Izard is a French artist who settled in London back in 2015.

In 2020, she graduated from the Textile Design BA at London Metropolitan University, receiving a 3D Portfolio and Creative Development Award and First Class Honours, after discovering she would probably not be a designer, but would rather follow her own path as a maker.

Her work explores the gaps in the definition of function and purpose, and shows a reflection on our relationship to the objects surrounding us. Her practice revolves around questioning and pushing the boundaries of the media she uses (mainly drawing, collage and textiles), in order to disrupt and subvert the things and ideas we take for granted by celebrating the blurred lines, the imperfect and the overlooked.
