Jessica Stratton is an artist and educator residing in Ithaca, NY. Her work is an autobiographical examination of her joint damaged body, as well as a commentary on the healthcare industry in the United States.
Jessica employs a range of mediums and techniques including but not limited to photography, drawing, painting, collage, mixed media, and most recently, laser cut paper into her work. She generally works realistically to honor and validate hers (and others’) experiences in a chronic illness life. Her work aims to showcase beauty in what society otherwise deems as grotesque.
Jessica holds an MFA in Visual Art from the Vermont College of Fine Art.
