Hi, I’m Jessica Bush, a passionate and expressive artist who enjoys everything creative. My work is always changing and evolving, and includes paintings that are abstract, landscape, floral, as well as collage and written word. I mostly create using mixed media on canvas, incorporating anything that I can get my hands on to create unique pieces with lots of texture and depth. I describe my works as “emotions on canvas” as I start most of my pieces with a feeling, memory, or intuition and let them take shape and form from there, using lots of intuition and expressive movement in my process.

Inspiration for my art comes from music (which is always on when I’m painting), movement and emotion. I have a passion for mental health, having completed my Masters of Social Work and practiced in therapeutic settings so I also draw on the deep connections and emotional experiences from both my clinical practice and my own journey to inform and inspire my work.

In my spare time, I enjoy playing tennis, doing yoga, and getting to any concert that I can. But, my absolute favorite thing to do is spend time with with my incredible son, Tegan. He’s a fierce, talented athlete and a budding, natural artist himself. Ever since he was a toddler we have enjoyed painting together and it is, and always will be, a favorite memory of mine. I am inspired by the fearlessness in which he creates and the bold confidence he has in his choices and final artworks. I am so excited to see where his creative journey leads him and will always cherish our time spent creating together.
