Jessie Jenkins Jessie Jenkins is a mixed media American artist born in Miami, Florida.

From first glance, her paintings may seem as a pastel dust cloud or neutrally muted landscape, however with a more astute focus, one may also notice the pensive emotion that navigates each delicate placed gestural line.

Jessie Jenkins’ sculptures are an abstract representation of anatomical intricacy. Her organ sculptures emphasize the importance of the less beautiful components of the human body. A self taught craftswoman and sandal maker, Jessie Jenkins is a graduate of Hunter College and mother of one.

allie olson Allie Olson is a mixed media artist whose creative practice began in mail art over a decade ago. Combining found materials, wood, geometric patterns and lost or forgotten images, she creates layered work that both comforts and challenges our perspective on the imperfections of humanity.

She believes hope and healing can be born from pain and despair and is largely inspired by childhood and the stories of those struggling to have their voices heard. The narrative and imagery of her work remind us that we each have the strength to carry a

message but we don’t have to do it alone. Allie founded the mail art project XOAOart and is an active member of the Brooklyn Collage Collective. She currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
