on being an artist
B. York PA, 1983
Jess Engle is an American painter based in Austin, Texas.
Known for her subtle florals and sculptural abstracts, her work explores the interplay of beauty, presence, and time.
An international upbringing in Pakistan, Germany, Ethiopia, Cyprus, Malawi, South Africa, and Togo informs her creative process and aesthetic sensibility.
Jess hopes the sense of presence she brings to the process comes through in the work itself.
