Jess Patrick

I ve been creating art my whole life growing up in an artist s home it was possibly inevitable While being an artist is a difficult tug of war between my inner dreamer and critic I ve grown to love this process a lot

My mediums

I specialize in assemblage art, acrylic on canvas, and abstract concepts.

While I've worked in many different mediums, I found a deep connection to both assemblage art and traditional painting. I love how it communicates so much of the creator’s point of view to the audience. Ironically, for me, the communication feels easier in the abstract.
