Art is my life…
Hi, I’m Tessa Jeanne and welcome to my digital studio! As a fine artist, I use painting and sculpture to explore the human form and the natural world through color. My art draws connections from the vulnerability found in the human experience as it relates to the humanity of love, life, and death.
While art is what makes an artist, the process can be just as important as the art itself. My passion to show the human experience through art is highly influenced by my own experiences in life, and with the natural world around me. Join me in recalling these experiences in my journal entries, and dive into how I condense the mess of life into beauty in my work.
As my art transfers chaos into beauty and death into life, I drive the viewer to contemplate how our humanity affects all aspects of our lives, including art. Without it, my life would be far less beautiful and messy, and what is life without a little mess?
