The ocean, the environment, and literature are the variables of Jessica Simonis’ art. Her pieces are titled with words that manage to find their way onto paper, whether that be a quote or a journal entry that can’t quite convey an emotion. Words transport Simonis’ hands seamlessly to canvas, photography, videography, installation, or more recently, architecture. She creates a sensory bridge between language and emotions through immersive and abstract pieces.
