Desire

Oil painting on canvas. 2008 "Desire". Desire was created while I was living in a caravan. My husband who was my fiance at the time had pushed me to paint again as he felt that i was sweeping my talent under the carpet. Desire was created to prove him wrong. What do you think?

oops lol pressed wrong button..... hey jessica i think this is well sexy, and you have definately proved him wrong there, i lso think that sometimes you have to stop painting for a while just to start to build up the drive again, for example its not a very good idea to drive your car around as fast as you can all the time because it will end up busted right lol, do more like this one cause you are very very good 5 illion stars aswell

Fantastic work Jessica. Great emotion via coloration and brush work. Not to fear, there are no perfect artists...just folks who just have to create art in their own way at their own pace and for their own reasons. You are definitely an artist and you need not under rate your obvious skills and talent. Thanks.

Artist Statement
for Jessica Storme

New Zealand

I was born in 1988 and have always shared a passion for creating new things and discovering new art forms... Truth be told I still don't know which is my favourite or which one I am best at... All I know is that I have to do it. For if I don't I will surely be lost.
The words which have always found me in my art career are those of Vincent Van Gogh " If there is a voice inside you telling that you cannot paint, then by all means paint and the voice will be silenced".
I do not profess to be a perfect artist or that I am one - the only thing that I know is that want to spend my life finding out whether I can be one.
