#662 by Jessie Woodward

Original abstract painting. Jessie is an abstract painter and mixed media Artist, based in Bristol. She studied Fine Art/Art History joint honours degree at University of Plymouth going on to work in Art education within the Gallery and Charity sectors. She has since become a full time Artist, practising for the last 7 years, exhibiting works throughout the UK and selling her pieces, known for their vibrant colour palette, worldwide. Jessie’s instinctive way of working explores the language of paint and mark making to evoke emotions in the viewer, aiming to communicate how pure abstract work can generate visual energetic joy and pleasure. The way Jessie experiments with materials, a bold colour palette and juxtaposing textures is key to making each piece vividly unique. She looks at the dynamics created when colours, marks, textures and ratios are set with and against each other to create a cohesive piece. Jessie doesn’t name her works, just giving them a number for reference. This is mainly to do with wanting to limit the influence over the viewer's experience of a piece. She particularly wants to avoid a name having power over how the viewer takes in what they are seeing, but for the piece to speak for itself; emphasising the potency of process, colour and mark making within a painting’s energy.
