Join us for an opening reception to Sacred Wisdom: An Exhibition by Jessica Monroe. Exhibition runs October 17 - November 27, 2019. Monroe is best known for her large-scale oil paintings inspired by the natural world. Interested in using art as a means to bring awareness of environmental issues, her paintings are full of energy and movement, celebrating the beauty of her subject. Exploring delicate and endangered ecosystems, Monroe often works outdoors using watercolor, pastels and a camera, which inform her studio practice. Monroe holds a Bachelor of Arts from Southwestern University and studied painting at New York University and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. For over fifteen years, Monroe has exhibited her work throughout Texas and the Rio Grande Valley, and taught art to students of all ages.
