Jessica Wilson

Jessica Wilson grew up in a world of words and images. Her mother was a children’s book illustrator, a main influence on her choice of career in graphic art. She had formal training in painting and printmaking at the Corcoran School of Art and the Washington Studio School. After a 25-year career at the Washington Post, she moved to Loudoun County where painting became a steady practice.

Her home and studio are located on a ridge top with constant changes in light and atmosphere that are a source of inspiration. “The natural world is full of poetry waiting to be translated.”

Jessica is a member of the Gamblin Dedicated Workshop Instructor Program, geared toward best practices in the use of modern-day painting materials. She is an active member of the Loudoun Sketch Club and a member of the Artists in Middleburg. She exhibits her work in both solo and group shows throughout the area.
