paintings by Jag

Jesse Gestal, the founder of paintings by Jag, has been inspired to paint from an early age. While specializing in landscapes, she likes to experiment with different subjects and mediums. Jesse has been inspired by her father’s mother, Isabelle Gestal Rice, whose painting name is Lyle and taught her to always use a “bit of red” in each of her paintings, a technique she has continued to value. 

Jesse began to focus on painting as her primary artistic outlet at the University of Vermont , where she graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Studio Art in 2001. Currently, she is living in Jackson Hole, WY being inspired of the Tetons and gorgeous surroundings. She has shown her work at the The Green in Burlington, VT and at Chameleon Café on Russian Hill, The Design Guild, various residences in San Francisco and MADE on Gaslight Alley in Jackson Hole.

Jesse is continuously inspired by her surroundings: The Mountains, North Lake Tahoe, the northern California beaches and her travels.  While her early series concentrates on abstraction and landscape, she draws inspiration from Japanese art and renowned American artists such as Wayne Theibaud.

In the past, she has taking her art to a different level by re-creating San Francisco neighborhoods. She re creates the city, with the use of maps, electronics and found objects. Now living in Jackson Hole, WY she is focusing on landscape painting and creating jewelry.

She looks forward to depicting stories about her experiences in her paintings and collages.
