About Jess

Jessica Murr is a painter and printmaker from Mount Olive, New Jersey. Jess has been creating and collaborating since an early age. She recently completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at Savannah College of Art and Design. Post graduation, she continues her creative processes of extracting colors, passions, and sentiments from her fond memories and experiences. Jess’s paintings are approached with quickness and fluidity. Spontaneous emotion and fast action are large structures in the artist’s work, where she filters out the unnecessary, leaving only what is integral to the emotion. This expeditious process becomes rhythmic and lyrical as she builds and grows off of past work and experiences. 

Jess’s motivations stem from the most important bonds and relations in her life, which are revealed in the imagery of her current work. Through passionate colors and comforting imagery, she hopes her audience can experience a sense of tender calmness upon viewing her work. Jess’s work is an opportunity to encourage self reflection and rediscovery of the sisterlike bonds in one's own life.
