From the Art Center of Corpus Christi:
“About the Exhibition
This self-titled exhibition presents a collection of new works created by South Texas artist Jessica Monroe during and following her residence at the Laguna Madre Field Station in 2024. The exhibition features works that capture the unique ecosystems and biodiversity of the Texas Coastal Bend region.
Known for her captivating explorations of wild spaces and native biodiversity, Monroe’s work beautifully celebrates the interconnectedness of nature, drawing inspiration from her coastal experiences. The exhibition invites viewers to engage with the natural world through Monroe’s distinctive artistic perspective.
“Amidst climate challenges, I find solace by the water, where I meditate and observe life’s wonders,” says Monroe. Through her meditative painting practice, she aims to shed light on the beauty of the environment during times of crisis.
The 2024 Artist Residency that supported Monroe’s work was made possible by funding from the Robert J. Kleberg, Jr. and Helen C. Kleberg Foundation.
