Jessica Baron is a Canadian born artist living in the West of Ireland. A graduate of Literature and creative writing, History of Art and Textile design, she explored different creative mediums before diving into the techniques of alla prima oil painting, a medium she first experimented with at the young age of 14. Her work is intuitive, layers of paint are built freely with a lot of movement, a painted dance on canvas. Dramatic atmospheres take shape in textured palette knife strokes, yet creating a serene scene with simple forms in an impressionistic style. Her current work, through subjects of landscapes, seascapes and boats, explore themes of serene solitude with a contrasting sense of togetherness. Both somewhat connected and distinct at the same time, influenced by our own perspective. Her interest in light, how it shapes the very things we see, their shadows and reflections creates strong compositions and pulls you right in each painting.
