Jessica, a pen and ink artist when she last joined the First Saturday Arts Market in 2010, now creates high-contrast ink and paper pieces and tactile string and yarn works. Her art reflects a shift in style after losing most of her visual function in 2019, focusing on bold contrasts and physical textures, crafted in her spare time outside of a healthcare career she began after returning to school.
Pooja is a visionary abstract realism artist who pushes the boundaries of artistic expression through a captivating blend of abstract and realistic elements. Born with a passion for art and a unique perspective on the world, Pooja combines imagination and observation to create visually stunning artworks that are a vibrant tapestry woven from her global adventures, blending the bold colors of Mumbai, the opulence of Dubai, and the eclectic vibe of Houston. Drawing inspiration from the complexities of human experiences, Pooja captures the essence of emotions, memories, and the ethereal nature of existence through her art. Her distinctive style seamlessly merges abstract forms, vibrant colors, and intricate details, resulting in a harmonious visual symphony that resonates with viewers on a profound level.
My drawings and paintings explore construction and deconstruction, where organization and disorganization are somehow working together. Building up and tearing down is seen everywhere in the world and expands out within the vastness of our universe. The imagery is reminiscent of worldly themes and materials, where urban infrastructure and natural landscapes are in opposition, but working together to create destruction and harmony.
All of the paintings are created using acrylic paint on hand constructed wooden supports. Each piece is completely crafted using precision, patience and craftsmanship. The backside is finished using the same quality as the front and is signed and titled. Each title is designed as a way of summarizing the work using visually similar elements as the front.

Enjoying the creative moment: Not knowing where my head or hands are going – is the pure essence of why you see – what you see in my images.
“The Abstract”, the non-representational is my true passion.
100% analog: Hand-held tools/methods with pencils, pens, acrylic ink.
My paintings are Acrylic Ink, not paint.
My goal for the audience: A visual curiosity that provides a pleasant distraction.
I’m a US-based artist best recognized for my surrealism, uplifting acrylic paintings. Animals and chess pieces are alive in my paintings. Mylar balloons are used by the characters to travel and live their lives; everything that would typically occur on the ground occurs while they are in the air. They travel through portals, and there are clocks of all sizes and forms everywhere, encircled by clouds of all hues.
Situations in my daily life and how I respond to them have an impact on me. All of the unsaid sensations and emotions that my subconscious contains are released through my paintings. There are elements of melancholy, joy, support, remembering, and attentiveness in every detail of my paintings.
In this fast-paced, hectic environment. I want my paintings to make people smile, pique their interest, and give them time to stop and appreciate my work. In conclusion, I want to improve people’s lives, one painting at a time.
