Jessamyn Smith
Jessamyn Smith is a mainly self taught artist specializing in pastel paintings. She was encouraged to draw and create art from a young age by her parents. At age 7 Jessamyn was taking soft pastel lessons at a local art museum. She painted sets for the drama team in high school and won a scholarship and award for art achievements. Deciding to pursue engineering in college, the artist almost completely stepped away from art for many years. Then she woke up one day in early 2024 and began practicing art again regularly. Jessamyn credits beginning again from, in part, the brilliant artist Susan Jenkins, who teaches art online. It’s never too late to forget what lies behind and strain forward to what lies ahead!
