Jacque Price Art

"I explore the emotional and psychological experience of being human through abstracted landscapes and narrative forms. My work is rooted in curiosity—interested less in fixed meaning than in the tension, humor, and vulnerability that emerge when certainty loosens. Rather than depicting place, my paintings trace internal terrain, allowing atmosphere, movement, and dissolution to stand in for lived experience."

Price’s work seeks connection without sentimentality. She is drawn to moments of awkwardness, pause, and quiet contradiction—where elegance and uncertainty coexist. Her practice reflects a belief that balance is not something achieved, but something actively negotiated. Creating art mirrors the way she approaches life: attentive, honest, and willing to stay present with what is unresolved.

She works in oil on canvas using a visceral, physical process with brush and palette knife. A limited palette is built over bright underpinnings, with paint layered, disrupted, and revised over time. Surfaces retain evidence of decision-making—areas of focus alongside moments of release—echoing the rhythms of attention and exploration that shape both the work and the artist’s life.
