About

B I O : 

Hi, I’m Jessica Kinsella. I’m an abstract artist based in Southern California, and I love creating paintings that are full of color, texture, and little stories that make a space feel alive.

I’ve always been inspired by the world around me, whether it’s the ocean, mountains, or desert, or just the quiet moments of everyday life. Painting is my way of noticing the small things, exploring emotions, and capturing what often can’t be put into words.

I first fell in love with painting while studying at UC San Diego, and even though I started my career in Human Resources, I never let go of my creative side. Over the years, I found ways to return to art, experimenting, learning online, and slowly building a practice that felt like my own. By 2016, painting became my grounding force, and in 2017, I released my first abstract collection and officially started my art business. Since then, I’ve connected with collectors who resonate with the heart and color in my work, and my paintings have continued to find their way into homes around the world, in spaces filled with intentional design, vintage charm, and a love for art that tells a story. I'm also certified in therapeutic art, which has deepened my belief in creativity as a powerful tool for healing and self-discovery.

Today, I work from my home studio, surrounded by the everyday inspiration of life around me. Whether it’s a thrifted textile, the colors of summer, or a season changing outside my window, I love turning those moments into paintings that feel personal and full of life. My goal is to make art that feels warm, inviting, and meaningful - something that sparks a little pause, a smile, or a story in your home. 

When I’m not painting or making videos, I enjoy reading, spending time with family and friends, cooking and baking, and getting out to the ocean as often as I can. I live in Temecula, California with my husband and two daughters, while my son lives in my hometown of San Diego with his fiancée. Thank you so much for being here and taking the time to connect with my work 🖤
