About Jema
Artist Statement
Inspiration for my art originated from the nature I explored as a child in Northern Minnesota. As I travel the world experiences with nature hold memories of adventures with my family, curiosity, and a space to let go of life’s challenges.
Nature for me is about connection. Nature connects us to a special place, an inward discovery, or a moment in time with friends, family, or strangers. In a broader sense, nature connects us across the globe no matter our ethnicity, beliefs, or differences.
My abstract art pieces are created with vibrant colors and textures to connect the viewer to their own moments of serenity, adventure, and fun.
