Bio

​

              Jesse was born in El Paso, Texas, and raised in Morton, Texas, a small rural farming town that is located West of Lubbock. Having grown up in the dry, arid plains of Llano Estacado he found a love for the vast wide-open spaces of West Texas at a young age. His love for horror movies and the process that is involved in the making of movie monsters is what led to Jesse’s love for the arts.  

              Jesse works in graphite or acrylic on Bristol and clay.

He enjoys the realism that graphite can bring to artwork. Jesse gets his creative ideas from modern popular characters and classic movie monsters. The works of Karoly Grosz like the classic Frankenstein or the pop art of Burton Morris’ Coca Cola have always been an inspiration for the artist. Currently, Jesse is working on his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at Arkansas Tech University and resides with his wife and two sons in Russellville Arkansas.
