CV (2023)

Jessica Violetta is an Artist and Textile Designer based in the New York City metro area.

Her work honors the power of nature and its impact on the human experience. By weaving together organic forms that echo and embrace each other, Jessica creates enveloping works of art that reflect the beautiful complexity of our existence.

Born in Northern California and raised in New Jersey, Jessica has always been inspired by the drama of nature. She attended a performing arts high school for dance and theatre before returning to San Francisco to receive a BFA from California College of the Arts. She has since worked with clients such as Pottery Barn, West Elm, Altuzarra, Monique Lhuillier, Julia Berolzheimer, David Burke, and more.

Violetta now paints and designs from her home studio just a boat ride from Manhattan, immersed in coastal nature.
