The Illustrator

AltStrings: Jessica Blackburn

Jessica Blackburn

Art has always been an incredible passion for Jessica. Growing up in Ferguson, MO, she spent much of her time searching for items that she could make into “art,” and creating plaster items to paint. Jessica attended SLCC and has been working as a freelance artist since the age of 19. She then worked as an architectural illustrator for the St. Louis newspaper, West End Word and for Denver and St. Louis realtors.

Since moving to Colorado, Jessica has been invited to be a featured artist at several Denver galleries, displaying works created with pastel and mixed media. In her free time, she volunteers painting and designing stage sets for nonprofit theatre groups.

Jessica’s current projects include book illustrations and cover art. She also specializes in portraits of people and pets. Jessica is always looking for a way to translate beauty onto a canvas or paper.
