Born & raised in Memphis, TN, Jess Tinsley works by adding conscious expression through lines and detail - working with the flow of the original layer. She is a self-taught, mixed media artist – specializing in abstract works that speak to the importance of feeling in a world that respects logic. Supremely logical by education, Jess has learned how to express her feelings through art and now to be understood through the flow of the paint. Jess believes that art can change the world and that good art causes people to step outside of their box and see something from a new perspective. Art breaks down barriers and makes the world a more beautiful place – even as it exposes the raw and genuine humanity in each of us. Never satisfied to stop, Jess always finds new media and subjects with which to experiment. The constant in her work is the flow and the constant change. Often called a “walking contradiction” because of her idealistic and realistic approach to life, she is determined to connect with others through art and to encourage other artists, creatives, and humans, as she continues her art journey.
