Jessica Park

Jessica Hillary Park was born on July 20, 1958 and lives in Williamstown, Massachusetts. She attended local public schools and received her first art instruction from John Maziarz at Mt. Greylock Regional High School. Apart from a few lessons from friends she is self-taught. Jessica is a mail clerk at Williams College where she has worked for 30 years.

Jessica's paintings start with a sketch, whenever possible done at the actual scene. Later she will often refer to a photograph for more detail. Her paints are acrylics; she has 64 tubes of them but she seldom uses a color as it comes from the tube. Each color is mixed to a particular shade and there will often be seven or eight shades of the same color which will be applied one by one according to a diagram that she holds in her mind from the beginning.
Jessica's favorite color is mint green.

Jessica's life and vision have been documented in The Siege and Exiting Nirvana, two books by her mother, Clara Claiborne Park.
