Visual artist inspired by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. This informs how I physically approach my practice and recently my subject matter - Keighley.

81% of #DYCP applications were unsuccessful... You are not alone. It doesn't mean you are not worthy. It doesn't mean it wasn't a great idea, or even that it wasn't a great application. Keep going #arts friends.

Over the next 19 days I'll be walking 95km to raise money for @MedicalAidPal #strideforgaza

The distance between Gaza and Occupied East Jerusalem. A journey prohibited for Palestinians living under occupation and refugees.

I love it when I get to meet the people who buy my work and hear their stories as to why they feel a connection to my work.

Even better when it's an old friend you haven't seen in ages! 🥰

My current exhibition, Looking Both Ways is on until the 6th January at @HebdenTownHall

[Yorkshire Swim Works @WorksSwim]

Humbled by local residents who quickly put this video together of the Yorkshire Swim Works dream location - amazing views and amazing community spirit. £45k raise so far. Surely we can do this!

Thank you to @PlanitIE for the visuals

[Jess Kidd @jesskiddart]

Only 4 days to go! Such a brilliant idea, which I think will make nature accessible to so many more people and enrich our lives.

Everyone at SCAF have been so warm and welcoming and the support they give to emerging artists is just fantastic. THANK YOU!!

This year I will be exhibiting at the @greatyorkshow Art Show, curated by @lfmartworks 🥳

The weather this week is making me think of my piece, Reflection. It wasn't as hot as it is right now when I decided to paint this spot on Alice Street, Keighley. More of a fresh spring day, perfect for a nosy wander.

Hope you are all enjoying the weather!

[Jess Kidd @jesskiddart]

You've got another chance to see my piece, A Morning in Keighley at my exhibition, Searching for the Light.

Starting TOMORROW 🎉 at @South_Square and then running throughout June and July.

Exhibition opening 5-8pm.

Free entry. Everyone welcome!

[Jess Kidd @jesskiddart]

Installation day!!!
