About
Jessica Janzer
​
Jessica Janzer explores the human condition through works that merge realism with surrealism. Her interest lies at the intersection of reality and fantasy – the seen and unseen, actualizing depictions of consciousness, dreams, mortality, and the experience of inhibiting a body.
Janzer received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art Education, Painting, and Printmaking, with a Minor in Art History, from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Janzer currently works as a high school art teacher, while exhibiting in the greater Milwaukee area. Her studio practice constantly informs her pedagogy, and vice-versa. She firmly believes in the power of art to share stories, heal and connect individuals, and ignite change the world.
