Jessie's Art

Here's one from this winter: American Purple Top Yellow Rutabaga

Jessie: Well, this is what I would normally say if I were showing veggie art: I have always drawn and painted, but I also started gardening while working at the Dartmouth Organic farm in 2005. There I began to realize the similarity between gardening and painting or drawing, how one creates something different and new from raw materials, something larger than the sum of it's parts. I then moved to an intentional community in rural Virginia called Twin Oaks where I learned much more about gardening and also began doing illustrations for another intentional community's heirloom seed company called Southern Exposure Seed Exchange. That is where most of the art you see here originated. I also do portraits, murals, and just about anything else. Please check out my etsy shop too: http://www.etsy.com/people/doylejessie Also, if you are interested in owning any art please feel free to contact me, even if you have no money to pay for it. We can figure something out, trade, barter, or whatever.
