A unique collaboration of creative spirits
Bath artists Emma Taylor and Jason Dorley-Brown are the two faces of Jet Pictures, whose artwork ‘Separation and Amalgamation’ is featured on Modern Art Distillery’s London Dry Gin bottle label.
Jason Dorley-Brown is a photographer and digital artist. He left Bath as a 19-year-old to take a job in a London photographic darkroom from where a 25-year-long career started.
He went on to work in the photographic, printing and fashion industries, based in London and New York City, before returning to Bath in 2009 where he lives with his wife Karena.
Jason’s ‘eye’ has been influenced by his work with and for photographers along with pop and abstract artists. His love of analogue photography has been joined by an appreciation of the digital processes of image creation. He has embraced the use of Photoshop and digital image ‘apps’ to enhance and, in many cases, to completely change the original image.
In addition, Jason is an ambassador for Bath Mind, a local charity whose mission is “To promote and nurture everyone’s mental health through the provision of information, activities, advice and support”.
Emma Taylor is an artist, designer, curator and community worker. Having spent many years in the media industry she took the plunge and set up her own creative business. She lives in Bath with her husband, two grown-up children and an ever expanding menagerie of animals.
She wears a variety of ‘arty’ hats ranging from designing and creating commercial murals for offices and hotels and mentoring and working as a community arts worker in the Bath and North East Somerset area. She also sells her prints and original artwork which are inspired by a love of natural landscapes and nature.
Working together as ‘Jet Pictures’, Jason and Emma combine their very different art styles, initially producing a collection of work called ‘Behind Closed Doors’ that sought to celebrate Bath’s architectural heritage and the human stories behind its buildings. The project was displayed at the city’s Abbey Hotel and raised funds for Bath Mind charity.
Receiving much acclaim for the project, the pair subsequently set up Jet Pictures to continue their collaborate approach, but in addition continue to work on their individual projects. Together

Jason and Emma’s design for Modern Art Distillery was created using photographic images that Jason took back to black and white before digitally painting in a Pop Art style. Emma then drew by hand the original pen and ink illustrations of parts of the buildings, people, story characters, pets and more.
By combining these two unique artistic processes and pulling together historical, personal and humorous imagery, M.A.D ended up with a truly unique design.© Inspired Spirits LLP t/a Modern Art Distillery 2023
