Jessica Byrd

A Seattle-based artist whose approach to her art is the same as her approach to life: Explore. Take risks. Refuse to be crippled by the fear of failure. And at all costs, love what you do. "Born to live, loved to love, created to create".

Today's painting, in black, white, and umber oils. Homage to #vandyke . It's crazy to me how enjoyable painting is. One of those things life that really centers you. 🎨 #jessicabyrdart
