The artwork will go on display at The Island Quarter which is near the site of the original Boots Headquarters. Artists were challenged to design a mural that reflected on achievements and the pioneering spirit of the Boot family.Jess has previously designed murals across the city and further affield including on Lichfield Street Hub and she works as a freelance graphic designer with an extensive client list.
It's the first of many projects which are set to bring life to the 36-acre site which is undergoing a dramatic transformation. The competition is in partnership with The Nottingham Project and has received design proposals from a vast array of artists.

She incorporated strong imagery of Jesse and Florence Boot, visualised their extensive work as both philanthropists and chemists, and linked the entire piece back to Nottingham through the imagery chosen.
