Early Life
Jessica Stewart Dismorr was born at Gravesend, England, and moved with her family to Hampstead in the 1890s. Her father, John Stewart Dismorr, was a rich businessman, as a consequence of which she was free of financial worries. She attended the Slade School of Art, 1902–03, before training under Max Bohm at Etaples, and at the Académie de la Palette in Paris, 1910–13, where she studied with Jean Metzinger and was in the circle around the Scottish Colourist, John Duncan Fergusson. In 1911, she contributed several illustrations to Rhythm magazine.

“I will use treatment to help the sick according to my ability and judgment, but never with a view to injury and wrongdoing. Neither will I administer a poison to anybody when asked to do so, nor will I suggest such a course. Similarly, I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion. I will keep pure and holy both my life and my art.”
—Hippocrates (c. 460–c. 370 B.C.)
