jess mitchell is a self-taught artist based in hamilton, canada. her single-line style of drawing is used in both figurative and abstract pieces, and is completed by drawing a continuous line that never intersects with itself.

jess’s main artistic themes include mindfulness, and the thread between our internal lives and the communities we participate in. she is most interested in how abstract ideas can be broken down into smaller details, and how our personal histories or biases influence the ways we perceive those ideas. jess’s work, both in her focus on the minute and her efforts to represent her portrait subjects authentically, is informed by her professional background in mental health and software development.

her work has been shown at the art gallery of mississauga and several galleries across toronto and hamilton.
