Resin, Mica Powder & Acrylic on Wood Panel 10”x10”

Jess Hart is an artist living and working on the unceded lands of the shíshálh and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh peoples in Gibsons, BC. She creates unique contemporary and abstract artwork featuring coastal and urban scenes. Combining techniques of graphic design and silk screen printing, she enjoys experimenting with watercolor, acrylic, resin and mica powder to produce a dynamic style. A veteran musician who has performed across Canada and toured in Europe, she was inspired by screen printing to start painting and exploring new mediums and came to develop an interesting method and outlet for her creative expression. Employing high detail die cut stencils, she layers elements with acrylic, spray paint and fluid paint which are then embedded in a high gloss resin. She creates abstract and contemporary works of art with vibrant colours, enhanced by the high gloss, glass like epoxy finish.
