Jess Engle
Austin, TX
Jess Engle has been painting with watercolors and oils on large canvases, small scraps of paper, and everything in between for as long as she can remember. She went to Savannah College of Art and Design, never thinking that one day she would “actually” become an artist. That took a bit longer to realize. But here she is, living the dream. Jess's mission is simple: to make beautiful work that makes people feel extraordinary. Her aesthetic is influenced by her African upbringing - she spent most of her childhood in Ethiopia, Malawi, South Africa and Togo, and that blend of cultures was her biggest influence. She vividly recalls the colorful, geometric patterns of the Ethiopian woven cloths against the white backgrounds.
