Jesse's Artist Bio:

It’s been a full circle odyssey for Jesse. After growing up in Eau Claire (NHS '01), he left in 2009 for what would become a 14 year lap around the US, spending time in Portland (OR), NYC, Seattle, Eureka (CA), and Austin (TX). Now, he finds himself back in his hometown with art in hand, thrilled to contribute to the Chippewa Valley's exceptional creative scene.

My work depicts the dreamscape within me. I blend common shapes and geometric themes with the stuff of my subconscious, using bold colors and texture. My hope is that my works are subjective enough to stir up sensibilities from your own subconscious as well. Ultimately, I want every viewer to find a personal meaning in the menagerie of gouache, charcoal, oil pastel, chalk, and acrylic on canvas.
