Playing loose w cold wax, a few sessions and texture. These are medium size, 16x16 on canvas. Using pastel sticks too and LOVE them.

Today I experimented with four small canvases and did some intuitive pieces based on music and flow. It was the most fun I’ve had since Palm Springs @amytroute 🥰🤩

Today, I played. Cup full.

A year long series is exactly that, and a lot of patience.

Vereingung. 36x36 oil #birdart #folkart #cottafecore #illustrative #oilpainting

Painting 4 and the last one of the 2025 series is finally started. I had to really feel this one out…. on how to go about it…because I was changing inside as I was about to start it. This series represents a living moment kind of expression, an evolution of this year. So the authenticity of the piece had to align before I could start! Frustrating … but patience is important because I have to paint from within now.

This will be my only figurative in the series and yes it’s a self portrait of my inner child finally free. I can’t wait to share it with you by end of year or maybe sooner… as this landscape is a bit more simplistic than Vereingung painting which took 3 full months. 😳 and I’m still adding to that one.

Maps @pdxopenstudios website outer ne group.

The kraft paper is taped down (a little crooked), the floor’s speckled with paint, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. This is where the work lives before it’s “done”—where color spills, brushes pile up, and light filters through the curtains just right.

It’s not polished; it’s alive. Every mark, every layer, tells the story of this season—messy, beautiful, becoming.

This painting is truly magical and so much better in person. I painted it with so much passion and creativity for three months full on. It’s a story and the third in my series for 2025.

Hi, I’m Jess!

Art has always been my way of seeing and connecting. From Oregon forests to years of design, I’ve returned to oil painting to let spirit and nature guide me. Each canvas is a bridge between the wild world outside and the inner world within. ✨

Come see this work at Portland Open Studios Oct 11–12 & 18–19.

May this story inspire you to see the bridge between spirit and nature in your own life.

Studio 93 on the tour! ⚡️

“Farm Life with Addy”

Oil
18x24
2025
#portraitart #childporttraitpainting #oillainting #timestamp #pdxos

Talking about this 36x36 oil painting I’m working on of birds, flowers, and a lot of energy layered through. The layering of light is what takes the longest so that certain objects glow in the moonlight.

The effect of illumination through oil is why I paint with oil. You cannot get that with acrylic paint and I have to add the light through my work or it lacks my emotionally energy with it. A painting to me is a living object, layered in story, symbolism and expression… and should allow my viewers eyes to wander throughout finding surprises along the way.

#artistrant #whyipaint #paintedstory #pdxart #pdxartist #americanartist #oregonart #artistssupportingartists

Just a reminder…. ✨

#livepassionately #findyourvision

Got away from the studio finally, much needed climbing and connecting w my friends.

Whenever I hear the lyrics to this song I think it’s God / Spirit talkin to me. 👀

I did layers of this flower then transparent yellow w medium to make it feel vintage and yellowed. Will add a few more details next…

Ok back to the canvas. #artreel #oilpaint #paintaflower

On creative blocks with yourself, and pushing through them like a good long run 🏃

Just doing my nieces make up, as I found one half hour to paint today, that’s a win!

Layers and layers

And layers.

I played piano for many years, since age 5… and painting is similar to music and life itself, when the pressure of the brush is as important as other technical ingredients of laying down the paint. The balance of all of these intuitive patterns while playing either……make the act of creating so layered…

Started this one 5/23/25, eta finish a few weeks

New painting. Hummingbird 12x12 oil on canvas.
