Jessica Shapiro

Jessica Shapiro’s improvisational art making process creates a personal record of hyper focus, play, overstimulation, repetition, chaos and calm. Her work moves fluidly between pure abstraction and ambiguous objectivity, drawing upon forms from nature, the figure, from memory & dreams and diagnostic imaging.

She received her BA from Bard College and MFA from the University of Chicago and lives and works in Chicago, IL.
