About

 

Jessamyn Parker lives and works in Reno, Nevada. She studied Fine Art, and French Literature at the University of Nevada, Reno and at California State University, Northridge. Although her experience as a childhood athlete led her to a career in fitness after college, she has never stopped expressing herself creatively. Eventually, she became aware that her worldview was through an artistic eye and found her way back to art. Her recent work includes abstract and contemporary acrylic paintings.



ARTIST STATEMENT:

My process of feeling moves me to create. My work is an intuitive experience that includes both spontaneity and intentionality.

I am inspired by being human, by the growth and transformation we undergo as conscious beings, and by the simplicities and intricacies of nature. 

My studio is a place I can go to practice letting go, and also making decisions. My paintings are created by applying layers of paint and other mediums with a variety of tools to create textures, shapes, energies, and directions.  I either reduce or expand on certain marks with the purpose of leaving behind what feels most important. By covering, exposing, adding, or deleting, I can achieve the feeling I hope to express.
