JESS IMPOCO IS MOSTLY A SELF-TAUGHT ARTIST.

HER WORK FOCUSES ON COMBINING BEAUTY AND DISTURBANCE, CREATING IMAGES THAT SHOW BOTH THE HORRORS OF DAILY LIVING WHILE KEEPING IT BRIGHT.    

GROWING UP AND STILL LIVING IN NEW ENGLAND, HER WORK OFTEN FEATURES DIFFERENT VIEWPOINTS AND SHOWS THE SMALL THINGS FOUND THROUGHOUT VARIOUS SPOTS IN THE REGION, SPECIFICALLY OUTDOORS.

HER IMAGES ARE INSPIRED BY NATURE’S SUBLIME POWER, THE RAW ASPECTS OF HUMAN EMOTION, AND THE SHINY, UNCOMFORTABLE PARTS OF CONTEMPORARY LIFE AND FAST LIVING.

WORKING MOSTLY WITH PAINT, JESS BUILDS LAYERED, DRAMATIC SCENES THAT BRING OUT A SENSE OF WONDER AND UNEASE FROM WITHIN.

RECENTLY SHE HAS ALSO STARTED WORKING WITH PHOTOS AND DIGITAL COLLAGE, REWORKING HER PAINTINGS TO CREATE PIECES THAT RESEMBLE DREAM SPACE.

SO FAR IT’S ALL BEEN GOING WELL.
