Art by Jennifer Mercede

"I love to play with bright colors mixed with muted neutrals. I typically work with ball point pen, acrylic paint and mark makers, like watercolor crayon and colored pencil. Working in permanent pen forces me to go with whatever 'mistakes' I might make, adding an element of playfulness to my art. This lion is an expression of my love for color and fun lines."

Originally from the East Coast, now living in Portland, Oregon, Jennifer Mercede loves to create in the moment. From making art to playing music and writing, her art is playful and vibrant. Her paintings consist of free-flowing text, bright color, and energetic doodling. She is inspired by children’s art, funky color combinations, graffiti, and abstract expressionism. To quote Mercede, “I
paint fast. I doodle. I stream of conscious. For me there is no such thing as a mistake in art!”
