Artist Statement

Jessica’s work is primarily a response to stimuli from environments, experiences, energies and emotions. She explores chaos and harmony, moment, movement, memory, and materiality. She translates inner and outer landscapes, including feelings, dreams, sounds and fleeting sensations into a visual language shaped by color, gesture, and mark. Her work is driven by a process that embraces both intention and accident, asking where unplanned gestures originate and how they evolve into resolved compositions. Her paintings incorporate a range of materials, including acrylics, latex house paint, spray paint, oil sticks, and found elements such as glitter, torn paper, industrial plastics and objects, built through layered gestures that may develop over time or emerge in a single energetic session.
