Hi! I’m Jessica Malatia, and I am excited to share my work with you! I am a visual artist in the Chicago area, and I most frequently work with acryl gouache.
I've been making and creating for as long as I can remember. My family nurtured my creative spirit as a kid, and I tried everything from balloon animal making to sculpting miniature foods from Play-Doh. I reference that childhood spirit in my art frequently, through anything from painting Kid Cuisines to drawing troll dolls.
I pride myself on making work that is sincere; I want the genuine interest and care I have for my subjects (however silly they may be!) to shine through. Nostalgia, food, and vintage toys bring me joy; I'd love to share that feeling with you.
