I’m pleased to introduce LA-based, Santa Fe-bound painter and printmaker Jennifer James Wright. She has a knack for creating whimsical and expressive illustrations that expose a childlike, literary reality.

I asked her about her favorite music artists and their significance. She said, “Music is pretty crucial when I’m trying to get into the creative frame of mind–moments where one idea bursts into a million, and that creative way of thinking completely takes over for a bit.”

Of her own perspective about “elevated” art, Wright says, “Smart design/art is what really catches me. When I can immediately recognize a smart solution in some sort of art piece, that’s what really sinks in, or what I’d consider ‘elevated.’”
