About

B I O : 

Hi, I'm Jessica Kinsella — an abstract artist based in Southern California, creating richly textured, color-driven paintings that bring warmth and story into curated homes.

I’m deeply inspired by the natural beauty of where I live, from ocean views and desert blooms, to shifting light and seasonal rhythms. Through layers of paint, texture, and color, I explore the emotional landscapes of daily life and the quiet beauty found in nature, home, and memory.

I first discovered my passion for painting while studying at UC San Diego, where I worked with children in local art programs. Though I started my career in Human Resources, my creative calling never faded. In 2013, I began blogging and taking online art courses, slowly building a foundation for my return to art. By 2016, painting had become a grounding, expressive part of my life — something I turned to during maternity leave, completing 22 pieces and sharing the process on Instagram.

In 2017, I launched my first abstract painting collection, marking the official beginning of my art business. Over the next couple of years, I sold 30 original pieces, connecting with collectors who resonated with the heart and color of my work. Since then, my art has continued to find its way into homes around the world — spaces filled with intentional design, vintage charm, and a love for pieces that tell a story. I’m also certified in therapeutic art, which has deepened my belief in the healing power of creativity.

These days, I paint from my home studio, surrounded by the everyday inspiration of family life, motherhood, and a home built with care. Whether it’s a thrifted textile, the colors of a coastal summer, or the shift of a season, my art is rooted in moments that feel both timeless and alive — made for those who find beauty in the details and meaning in the making of a home 🖤
