Artist bio
The simplicity of art and color is the cornerstone of Jessica’s paintings. She documents her feelings and emotions in her work. Always trying to convey the idea that we all need to quit making our lives so complicated and to find beauty in simplicity.
Growing up in rural Michigan gave Jessica the kind of no-nonsense ideas that live in her work. She also spent nearly a decade in Phoenix and enjoyed seeing and being a part of a budding modern art scene with artists who were willing to take chances, giving her a place to grow as an artist. Living now in Emeryville, California surrounded by San Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley, her work is now moving into its next phase trying to find simplicity and solace in what many see as the chaotic world of the Bay Area.
The chance that Jessica always takes in her art is truly being honest about what she does and how she does it. Art should be a lot of things but being contrived is not one of them. She has fun with her paintings and enjoys using color to make her work stand out. Another big influence on her art is her background in design, which she studied in college. You can see the control of space and the ability to have a piece with abstract values, still be soft and easy for anyone to enjoy. “Art has changed a lot for me over the years”, says Godisak,” Those silly trees you drew as a kid become more interesting, The perfect portraits a bit more distorted”. She is exploring the in- betweens at the moment and seeing what she may come up with. For Jessica art has always been her passion, she finds comfort in her work and hopes that you do as well.
