Jessica Clermont

Hey! I'm Jessica Clermont. I create art that explores identity by illustrating my process of uncovering the power and beauty of the skin that I am in. I want people who look like me to see themselves within the art that I create. As an African American woman living in America, I have witnessed my fair share of triumphs and downfalls. However, through my art, I can tell stories that are unique to my experience. I usually focus on illustrating the captivating beauty of African American men and women but, I recently decided to create artworks that generate a discussion about the significance of identity and being proud of who you are. Within these artworks, I use various forms of line work, color, texture, and mediums to indicate the power of black skin. I believe in sharing my story to connect with and empower others. With each art piece that I create, I hope to gain a greater understanding of who I am while helping others do the same.
