Jessica Turner

Jessica is a mixed media artist, specializing in paper illustration, assemblage art, sculpture, and jewelry making. She is a 2006 graduate of the Academy of Notre Dame de Namur. Following her graduation from the Academy, Jessica attended Drexel University where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Screenwriting & Playwriting. Alongside her love of film & theatre, she continued creating art, considering herself a mixed-media artist due to her experimentation with several different mediums. Her current medium of choice is paper, testing its boundaries with color, texture and depth. Inspired by antique images, nature and fantastical elements, Jessica gained her interest in paper art from her favorite artist Matisse, and she finds herself intrigued by anything that lends itself to getting lost in imagination. Her love of color and representing real things with real shapes and gestures stem from her early introduction to Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, and Fauvism. Jessica's studio is located at Gallery 222 in Malvern, PA.
