artist statement
Jessica Marie Leak is a queer black indigenous abstract artist based in the Gunnison Valley.
The paintings I produce are reverberations of what I experience and/or observe others experience in everyday life. On the surface, I see joy, pain, love, anger, and even tranquility. There is also an abysmal level where my work really strikes through to the audience because it is here where stories between the audience and myself become never-ending. This is the connection I strive to make through my art- I want to make everlasting connections with people who want to see the world in their own view but also, in others. Simply put, the stories derived from my own creation of my work create a dynamic flow in what the audience has to share of themselves in response.
