Jessie Laura
Jessie Laura (B. 1987, Lima, Peru) is a mixed media artist living in San Francisco. Working primarily with wood and paper, Laura uses clarity and simplicity as her visual language, striving to generate the maximum effect on the viewer with minimal media.
Stripped from color and representational imagery, her work gives the viewer the opportunity to engage with the work with heightened focus and a higher awareness of their presence in the space.
Influenced by nature and architectural structures, her mixed media work features geometric and organic shapes that create depth, texture, and movement. Abstraction through form, light, and shadow allows Laura to respond to and engage with contemporary culture’s onslaught of visual imagery.
Laura earned a BFA in Design and Film from The School of Visual Arts, New York (SVA NYC). Laura has been featured in notable group shows in New York City, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. She has completed artist residencies at Rule Gallery in Marfa, Texas, and Art Warehouse in Delray Beach, Florida. Laura’s Work is held in private and corporate collections across the U.S.
