About the Artist
My name is Jessica Jolicoeur. I am a self taught artist, I began drawing at a very young age then started painting in my teens. I have a fascination with faces and I spent a few years throughout my twenties discovering my talents by drawing portraits of compelling people. I developed my skills with patience and a commitment of regular practice. I also paint and I have branched from 2 dimensional art into 3 dimensional art with my exploration in costume design. As an expression of my costume design I enjoy taking old garments, fabric new and used, buttons, grommets and leather off cuts from the industry and making something that has never been seen before. I take my cues from the world around me, most notably the natural world. Its complex organic shapes and fractilian nature inspire me a great deal.
