Jessica Holzhausen is a freelance writer and artist based in East Oxford. As an artist, Jessica mainly works in acrylics, oil and pastels. She finds inspiration in the natural world, real and imagined places and her favourite subject: trees. Like trees a lot of her paintings tell a hidden (hi)story. Open for commissions. Next to painting landscapes, Jessica has a passion for creating wearable art pieces, like hand-painted bags or purses and jewellery from wood, copper, beach glass and recycled materials. Her handmade pieces are available at art and craft markets in and around Oxford. Jessica Holzhausen teaches beginner friendly art workshops in Oxford – from jewellery and fabric painting to introductions into landscape paintings. For many years Jessica has worked as a journalist and freelance copywriter with experience in SEO and online content optimisation. She is offering SEO content and blog writing services, especially for small businesses and creatives.
I always had a creative streak for which I found an outlet in writing short stories, crafting and occasionally painting with acrylics. I started to fully rediscover my passion for painting in 2019 and bit by bit developed my painting practise first as a hobby and then a side-business. The amazing art community in Oxford and attending art markets gave me the confidence to quit my fulltime job at a marketing agency in summer 2025 and start my own freelance business. I now split my time between art, writing and teaching painting workshops.
