Honoring the Sacred
inside and out…
.
Hi, I’m Jessica Monroe — a painter living and working in South Texas. My art is grounded in a deep connection to nature. I begin outdoors with meditation paintings, where marks become a way of listening to the land. From these studies, I create large, oil paintings full of energy and movement in a style of ecological realism.
If you're drawn to art that explores the wisdom and rhythms of the natural world, there are many ways to join me—through sponsorship, collecting a print or painting, attending a workshop, or simply following along as I share reflections from this creative path.

This upcoming creative pilgrimage through Galicia, Spain—combining painting, walking, and reflection on identity and belonging. El Camino via Turtle Island aims to bridge landscapes, cultures, and histories through a lens of reverence and curiosity.

Texas Coastal:
The Laguna Madre Series
Inspired by a 2024 solo residency on an uninhabited island in the Laguna Madre, this series reflects the stillness, resilience, and rhythms of coastal life. Living off-grid with no distractions, I spent my days walking, painting, and listening to the land.
These works are meditations on presence and belonging—meant to quiet the viewer, and reconnect us with the more-than-human world.
