Jessica Monroe is best known for her large-scale nature paintings full of energy and movement. Using a meditative, process based approach, Jessica uses marks to respond to wildlife.  This practice informs her studio work and is a tool she uses to help others – creatives and non-creatives alike – connect to nature.

Beginning in early childhood, Jessica has over 30 years painting experience. As a teenager, she began exhibiting her art and teaching. Though her work has changed over time, she has remained a committed artist throughout her life. Her current work is influenced by experiences as a mother and a desire for future generations to have access to a vibrant and healthy planet.

Jessica holds a Bachelor of Arts from Southwestern University, and continued her studies in painting at New York University and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
