Josephine Birch

Josephine Birch studied BA Illustration at Cambridge School of Art before joining the Royal Drawing School. Her work is informed by her location drawing, on the strength of which she was awarded the Anglia Trust Travel Scholarship, funding a drawing trip which took her from Cornwall to Skye, drawing traditional crafts people, their studios and the landscape in which they work. Josephine’s work is often narrative or sequential, inspired by folklore, literature and song. Her location drawing is strong both in the rural and urban environment, focusing mainly on architecture and the interplay between figure and landscape.
