Bio
Jessica Anne Stone is an abstract painter living in Austin, Texas. Her passion for art dates to her early childhood where she was raised in a home surrounded by an eclectic collection of paintings, prints, ceramics, and art books. With time she discovered she could express the joys of life and work through traumatic experiences in a world of texture and vibrant colors. She adds layer after layer of paint in hopes of giving new experiences each time her artwork is viewed.
Artist Statement
I paint not just because I love to, but also because I need to. Day and night, my hyperactive mind causes twisted words, incomplete stories, unexpected moods, and brief sleep. When I paint, time slows down and I feel as though my mind is being cleansed as I become lost in a world of colors and freedom. Painting for me is like meditation to others. I believe I am a better person because of it. No matter what emotions or life experiences fill me, I always have the desire to paint. Thoughts and emotions are released through blending, dabbing, dripping, folding, scraping, and smearing of paints. The outcome is usually unpredictable until my mood and experiences become permanently fixed through acrylics. Only occasionally do I use a paintbrush. I enjoy incorporating wood, ink, glass beads, sand, and fibers to add depth and interest to my paintings and symbolize the complex layers that make us who we are.
