Welcome to my world! I’m Jessica Balero, and my journey from working as a biologist in research laboratories to becoming a full-time artist has been nothing short of a revelation. Nestled in the vibrant heart of Venice, California, I draw upon my scientific background and deep reverence for nature to create art that speaks to the soul.

My paintings reflect the world through my eyes—a fusion of original references and imaginative flair. From intricate tree branches to delicate wildflowers, my work celebrates the diversity of nature. My primary media are oil pastel, gouache, and acrylic.

From intricate tree branches to delicate wildflowers, my work celebrates the diversity of nature. Join me on a journey of exploration through each painting, where every stroke opens a window to infinite possibilities.

When I’m not painting, I find joy in life’s simple pleasures—baking, sipping tea, and exploring the outdoors. These moments infuse my work with tranquility, inviting you to pause and find solace in the beauty around us.

Join me as I navigate this creative journey, and experience the magic of art through my eyes.
