Inspiration: Where Emotion Begins
Every piece starts with a moment of inspiration — a place, feeling, experience, or image that sparks something internal. Jessica doesn’t chase ideas; she lets them arrive.
Her work often begins with an emotion she wants to express or a story she feels compelled to tell.
Color Release: Letting Intuition Lead
Jessica approaches a blank canvas with total freedom.
She begins by throwing or sweeping colors onto the surface, allowing instinct and movement to guide her. These first marks are raw and expressive, laying the emotional foundation for the piece.
Layering Texture: Building Depth & Dimension
Texture is central to Jessica’s work. Using plaster, joint compound, acrylics, oils, charcoal, and mixed media materials, she builds sculptural layers that transform the canvas into a multidimensional surface.
Each layer holds meaning — some bold and raised, others subtle and hidden.
This is where the artwork begins to take on its signature 3D presence.
Hidden Gems: Details Waiting to Be Found
Jessica is known for embedding “Easter eggs” within her work.
These small, intricate elements are intentionally disguised within the layers and textures of each piece.
Intuitive Evolution: Letting the Artwork Speak
Jessica does not follow a strict plan or sketch.
Her process is entirely intuitive — responding to how the colors settle, how the textures form, and how the emotion shifts throughout the creation.
She allows the artwork to guide her, embracing unpredictability as part of the beauty.
The Aha Moment: Knowing It’s Complete
For Jessica, a piece is finished only when it feels finished.
She steps back, studies the textures and colors, and makes small adjustments until she reaches her inner “aha moment” — the moment the piece speaks back with clarity and completeness.
ARTISTIC PROCESS...
Creation that reveals itself over time
Jessica Taylor’s artistic process is rooted in intuition, emotion, and the freedom to create without constraints. Each piece evolves through layered materials, bold textures, and unexpected transformations — resulting in artwork that reveals more the longer you sit with it.
Jessica’s work has redefined the atmosphere of my living space—each piece radiates energy and depth that sparks conversation and reflection.
