Daydreaming detaches us from the present, directing our attention inward. Daydreams can be fantasies, inquiries, or meditations. They are rarely, if ever, bound to a rational narrative. Much like our lives, they are not linear. The more I consider them a creative tool, the more sense they make in relation to our reality. We bounce from place to place, person to person, and feeling to feeling. The only common thread in our "personal narrative" being the existence of ourselves in each moment we experience. Not all daydreams are take us somewhere new. They can be of opinionated conversations, rehashing of memories, or jumbled scenes of our past, present, and future. Whatever the case, they mirror the irrationality of the world we live in. All daydreams are born of and explore an idea, inviting us to become comfortable with their subject.

Essie Somma creates work in the intersection of surrealism and pop art. Bright colors and cultural nods combine, retelling stories we think we know. Her paintings urge viewers to step back from life and begin to observe it. Collaged personal photographs, magazine clippings, and advertisements form the basis of her compositions. She then crops and enlarges areas of interest before turning them into large scale paintings. This process continues collage’s investigation of reality’s mysticism by abstracting the familiar and worldly. Essie is originally from the Outer Banks of North Carolina. She finished her high school education at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, then received her BA in Painting and Performance from UCSB and completed the Art Marketing and Business program at Sotheby’s Institute of Art in London. Since finishing school, Essie worked as a contracted painter for the Elisabeth Jones Art Center in Portland, creating murals to inspire social and political change. Before becoming location independent, she became the Art Director of the art center while working as a freelance painter. Somma exhibits regularly in Portland, Oregon while remaining location independent. She recently completed residencies in Puerto Vallarta and Mexico City, and has relocated to Illinois for the summer of 2022.
