About
|
Across a variety of forms and mediums, artist Jessie Herzfeld explores dreams, desire, and the fantastic. Inspired by poetry, music, nature, literature, and Medieval art. Jessie's work often contains animal imagery, surreal creatures, and unusual landscapes. She works in oil paint, watercolor, charcoal, markers, photography, sculpture, and hair.
Her current work is a visual translation of the poems in Arthur Rimbaud’s Les Illuminations. She uses a mixed media process combining traditional materials with non-traditional media to create visionary collages that capture the moods, symbolic themes, and lyrical quality of Rimbaud’s words. She also recently launched a Pet Portrait business called Modern Tail Studios. To learn more and see samples of her unique style of animal portraiture visit www.moderntailstudios.com. Jessie holds a BFA from The University of Pennsylvania in coordination with The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and a Master of Arts in Illustration from Camberwell College of Arts in London. She has experience with commissions and freelance as well as teaching art classes, and she welcomes further opportunities to be involved with arts education and nurturing creativity. |
