Inviting Turbulence Drawing

Jessica Palomo is a Texas native artist who was born in Dallas, TX. She works in drawing and sculpture to investigate uncomfortable situations.

Jessica received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2007 from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX. She taught upper level art at First Baptist Academy located in downtown Dallas from 2007-2014. She has assisted many artists including sculptor John Collier for 6 years making large molds and positives.
