January Artist of the Month: Jessica Fligg

Jessica Fligg is an award winning artist primarily working in oils. Jessica studied painting at the New Hampshire Institute of Art in Manchester. She works from her studio in Ashland, NH and paints exclusively en plein air. She started drawing at a very young age with her Great Grandmother and her interest and passion for the arts has grown over the years. Jessica studies how lines, positive and negative spaces, light and shadows work together to create a space and visual pathways. She is currently working on another round of “A Year in Plein Air Painting.” She paints at least one plein air painting a week throughout the year.

In this series, Jessica captures the world around her through each of the changing seasons. Jessica also enjoys working on still life paintings and mixed media pieces in her studio. She takes great care in seeing each piece from start to finish by hand crafting her own paint panels and building her own frames.
