ART 180 | What Do You Stand For?

Jess Norris
For me, painting is essentially about embracing change and impacting a space. Through slow or determined marks, exuberant or demure color, paint reflects the tangible, the real, the human. My aim is to capture the most intimate aspect of a relationship: what happens when we uncover in others what they themselves mask. What we choose to see and how, and what it is feels like to bare it all.
