Jess Humphrey is a multi-disciplinary artist whose work spans collage, glass, photography, and fashion design. After spending two decades leading design in New York City’s fashion industry, Humphrey shifted her focus to making contemporary art full-time in 2019. Her work draws inspiration from minimalist color field painters Ellsworth Kelly and Josef Albers, Bauhaus artists Sophie Arp Taub and Gunta Stoltz, and Surrealist painter Rene Magritte. She focuses on color and form to create harmony and balance, capturing alternate realities and lucid dream states. Recurring themes around gender and the female experience appear in her work, such as conflicting feelings of wanting to be seen and wanting to be invisible, and masking strength in exchange for love and acceptance. Currently residing in Corning, New York, she is focused on the exploration of collage and glass and how the two mediums intersect.
