Jessica Wilkes was a London based artist. The Southwark Art Collection holds two of her oil paintings and one charcoal drawing.

Wilkes had an exhibition of her paintings on the bar wall of the Foundry in May 2004 (Foundry closed in 2010).

In honour of her career Wilkes left a legacy in the form of an artists' studio award, titled the Jessica Wilkes Studio Award, and was established by Acme Studios and Jessica's family and friends. The annual award promises artists the free use of a studio space and a substantial grant of £10,000 (over three years) and allows the awarded person the opportunity to further develop their studio-based, professional arts practice.
