Bringing the Outdoors In

drawings and paintings full of life, energy, and movement

 

Art has the ability to transform a space- to create a mood, and make a room feel more complete and inviting.  In exploring the intricacies of nature, my artwork serves to create a peaceful yet engaging environment.

­

 

Inspired by the beauty and chaos of the outdoors, my artistic practice is a way for me to reconnect to the natural world. By creating intuitive artworks full of the energy and characters I encounter, I work to break down barriers from our indoor environment to the outside world.

There are few things more satisfying than filling the spaces you love with art that makes you happy. If you like what you see here, reproductions are a great way to start your art collection! For original paintings, please visit my artist website at www.JessicaMonroe.com
