✨ Art Opening: Jessica Kaiser’s Multi-Media Work
Join us Friday, March 6th at 6pm for the opening reception of Jessica’s mesmerizing art work exhibit! Music by Rich Rider
In Jessica’s Words:
I am a multimedia artist focusing on using discarded materials such as trash from our lakes and litter in the street to compose layered emotional work, as well as creating honest reflections about women. My surfaces are built raw; brushstrokes remain exposed, imperfect, and intentional. I reclaim what has been thrown away to reveal that what is broken still holds value, and what is fractured can be whole.
Living with bipolar disorder, I create as a way to navigate the shifting tempos of my mind—intensity and stillness existing side by side. The canvas becomes a record of movement and emotion: yelling, dancing, crying, laughing. Each piece holds that energy.
At its core, my work centers on female connection- the relationships who have supported and sustained the cracks and faults, providing the mortar to hold me together. Some of the artwork is sharp, other pieces with a limited palette. At times my inspiration pours out rapidly; other times my focus is on a single piece for months, obsessively placing every tiny leaf by hand.
Every time I take a deep breath and put my brush to the canvas, I try to create something that is real. I believe everything has infinite value, even if it started as a discarded balloon about to be washed down the gutter. The world softens when we learn how to look at it.
Come meet the artist, sip cider, and see this lady’s work!
