Howdy!
My name is Jessica Lynn-Nacovsky Ferrara. I graduated from the College of Saint Rose with my Bachelor’s in Graphic Design in 2013. Then I spent three years tattooing in New York before backpacking through Europe. Now I live in Texas, where I can be found writing and painting.
Lately I've focused more on woodburning than oil painting. The process is as follows: draw, transfer drawing to wood, woodburn outline, paint highlights and/or shadows with gouache, adding hues via watercolor, then varnishing the piece before hanging a hook off the back for wall-mounting. I've also begun learning leathercraft but I am very much a novice.
My work is best visible on my artist Instagram and Facebook pages, which are also where I share "stories" of events I participate in. These largely consist of the Art Loop at First Friday in downtown Bryan, Texas. I can generally be found selling watercolors and wood burnings from my booth.
