Pail Art

Jessica Bernert has always been recognized for her innate creativity. The question, "Will you draw me something?" echoed throughout her life, reflecting her love for drawing and form. Originally aspiring to become an architect and design stunning dwellings and buildings, Jessica's path took a different turn when she discovered Graphic Design.

Instantly captivated, she shifted her focus from architecture to the dynamic world of brands and layout. At the age of 21, a vivid vision materialized, portraying herself painting in a tranquil and beautiful garden. Though its full significance eluded her at the time, the vision left an enduring impact. Now, she has come full circle to embrace her true calling: painting. Enveloped by her garden and studio, she discovers contentment and genuine happiness in her daily artistic pursuits—a realization of the vision from years ago.

Self-taught in oil paint, her formal education encompasses Graphic Design and Sociology. A virtuoso at her brushstroke lines, she eschews the use of tape or measurements, skillfully melding her design sensibilities to create hybrid pieces that captivate the eye and bring characters to life.
