Jessica Gertler

Biographical Info Hi! I’m Jessica Gertler and some people know me by my initials, “JDG,” because that’s how I started signing my paintings. I started selling my paintings in early 2023. A perfect storm of events led to a surge in my creativity after years of barely creating🕺🏼

Artist Type artist

Location Chicago

Short Description – I’m a dance instructor and create new choreography every week for a franchise here in Chicago – I’m a painter and experiment with mediums. My artwork carries depth but my process is simple: I paint what makes me happy. Overcomplicating this framework is my #1 inhibitor. – Textile artwork is my newest endeavor; I started conceptualizing fabric scraps as paint and dove head-first into learning a sewing machine *Mission Impossible theme song* – I’m dabbling in fashion (sewing garments, appliqué, screenprinting). I do more. Let’s just say I spend a lot of time looking confused at Home Depot. Commissions open (see website)
