Make All Colors Vivid,
Each Brushstroke Visible,
And Every Body Valued.
Meet the Artist
Jennessa is an educator, activist, and self taught artist based in Central Massachusetts. She earned her Bachelor’s from Worcester State University in 2015 and later her Master’s from Harvard Graduate School of Education in 2019. Outside of the classroom she immerses in a lifelong passion for the arts, emphasizing therapeutic benefits, forging community, and the power of public art. Through the use of acrylic paintings, mixed media pieces, and murals Jennessa expresses her emotion and amplifies not only her voice, but the voices of her communities. Many of her creations capture the beauty, strength, and resilience of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color). Too often Black and brown folx are missing from art spaces, reflective of their stories and truths being selectively muted throughout history. Jennessa aspires to bring joy to others who may experience the void of being unseen while bringing awareness to those who hold the privilege and fulfillment of being seen.
