Jessie Novik is a fledgling artist who seeks to incarnate the wild landscapes and characters that hyper-actively consume her awareness. Like her surrealist icons, Jessie is interested in visual psychoanalytic processes like decalcomania and other forms of chance manipulation to reveal hidden symbols, feelings, and patterns. In addition to painting and sculpture, this sprightly young woman is an accomplished martial artist who finds innumerable links between the creative process and the art of self-defense. Fascinated by world religions and psychology, Jessie is perpetually discovering herself on canvas and she hopes that one day she will understand the message that she, and all other visionary artists like her, are impelled to convey.
