Jessica Russo Scherr

American artist living in Frankfurt, Germany. Her work investigates our place within the wider cultural and emotional landscape focusing on identity, memory, nostalgia, and narratives as well as connections to others and place.
The handling of her chosen media is often applied in overlapping and mirrored layers forming atmospheric portraits and landscapes that intentionally evoke sensations of memory recollection and internal evolution. Her subjects are frequently depicted in solitary, social and spiritual situations.
Jessica is an internationally exhibiting artist and recipient of the prestigious Fulbright Grant by the U.S. State Department for her work in art. Jessica is originally from New York and has lived in 5 countries. She calls Germany her home now along with her husband and two children.

Jessica earned her BFA from Hartford Art School, University of Hartford, her Post BA teaching certification from Montclair State University and she attended the MFA program at William Paterson for 2 years and earned a 4.0 for her Masters of Arts in Art Education from Boston University.
