Jessica Powell is a Baltimore based Artist and Educator. She works mostly in watercolor and oil painting mediums; however, enjoys the exploration found in layering with mixed media and surface manipulations. From figures to landscape, Jessica explores the quickly changing moments of both the natural world and the human narrative. This fascination with movement and time is revealed in her approach with loose mark marking and use of layers. Both her experiences as a mother and the love for the outdoors have influenced much of her work as she documents these ever-fleeting moments.

I am an Artist and Designer. I enjoy a range of fine and digital arts such as logo design, ceramics, digital photography, and painting. I also enjoy incorporating light into my artwork. My current work primarily focuses on painting. I believe in creating art that evokes peaceful, pleasant, and positive emotions.

Through my work, I always aim to create simple, clean, yet intriguing and unique designs.

Born in southern Virginia during the seventies to a family where art was not practiced or encouraged, Qrcky was drawn instinctively to Chuck Jones' cartoons, Norman Rockwell's c, and Bob Ross' PBS show. Qrcky would try to imitate their art while watching cartoons. Twenty years later and entirely desolated by a bad marriage and subsequent relationships, Qrcky began to paint, reverting to the kinds of self-expression he felt closest to as a child. Finding freedom in his art, Qrcky discovered his voice by exiling himself away from friends and family.
