About the Artist
Jessica Alpern Brown is a multidisciplinary artist that creates fine art and design for homes, public realms, and the built environment. She comes from a diverse background centered in the arts and has been mastering fabrication techniques for nearly 20 years. While she began her career as a photographer, Jessica is known for her multimedia paper cut works and use of innovative materials from acrylic, color shifting vinyl and non-toxic resin to sustainable metals, and wood. At the core of her practice is a belief that fine art can inspire functional design. Jessica is currently focused on making resilient works that use color and light to bring beauty to ubiquitous objects and overlooked areas.
She believes that the best work comes from moments when thoughtfulness and skillful making intersect so she pursues both in equal measure. She is also known to excel at creative problem solving and is frequently sought out by area artists and arts organizations in need of unique solutions.
Jessica resides in Pittsburgh, PA and has exhibited in Pittsburgh, New York, and Barcelona. She is represented by the Boxheart Gallery and is featured in the Monmade x CDCP Art Print Collection.

“Whether it's a tool for wayfinding, a necessary fixture or traditional wall art, beauty should infuse our everyday lives. Public artwork offers a unique conduit for shared experience and even the most mundane object is an opportunity to make that experience positive.”
