Pet portraits & animal spirit paintings. California Landscapes & Seascapes and murals.

​My work is very much the same as a musician writing lyrics to a song or a writer writing a story. Every painting tells a story. I was very much influenced by fairy tales and fables as a child and took to the imagery of nature and in particular to the imagery of animals.

I loved being swept up into that world. They became my friends and gave my soul a place to rest and tumble around. The work is poetry with color and brush strokes. My artist kitchen is filled with yummy ingredients I delight in dipping into. Every piece is a unique and magical experience with often recurring characters, who show up and surprise me.

I hope to achieve beauty foremost and a sense of home for the soul. ​If I can live in a world with unicorns, why won't I?

​Love, Jessika.
