Artist CV

Jessica Morrison’s artistic journey began in childhood, sketching horses with a detailed eye for their beauty and power, laying the foundation for a lifelong creative passion. In high school, she stumbled upon encaustics, captivated by its depth and vibrant textures.

At Indiana Wesleyan University, she earned a degree in Illustration, mastering visual storytelling to weave narrative into her work. In October 2016, Jessica faced Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW), a debilitating condition caused by topical corticosteroids -halting her painting for six years. This ordeal, which began as a treatment for eczema, inspired a profound abstract expressionist series started in 2022, dedicated to raising awareness for TSW and supporting ITSAN.org’s advocacy efforts. Her work unpacks complex emotions—grief,
resilience, and joy in suffering—reflecting her faith in Jesus as a source of hope.

Beyond abstracts, Jessica creates impressionist landscapes of now-developed local terrains, preserving their fleeting beauty, and hyper-realistic drawings of horses and portraits: using graphite, oil, acrylic, and watercolor. Her global heart for missions, love for the persecuted Church, and volunteer travels fuel her appreciation for the diversity experienced at the Cross. Jessica also offers art services, including consulting, large-scale projects, live painting, plein air, art rentals, “pop-up” galleries, local art gift boxes, and an artist referral network.

When not creating, she serves as a real estate agent, wife, mother, and member of College Park Church. Recently, her work was acquired by a private collector, a globally influential entity in the wellness industry with a multibillion-dollar presence, underscoring the synergy between her art’s exploration of human experience and the collector’s commitment to global well-being.

efficiently add local art

How often can you say you or a friend have hired a local artist to plein air paint an event,
