    Jessie Shrieves has dedicated her artistic journey to creating paintings that resonate with timeless beauty. Her path in the arts began at Parsons School of Design, where she gained a strong foundation in technique and style. The comprehensive training she received there fueled a lifelong curiosity and commitment to her craft.

    Shrieves expanded her horizons by diving into anatomy drawing in New York City, where she studied the intricacies of the human form. This focus eventually led her to The Art Students League, an environment that encouraged experimentation and artistic growth. Surrounded by a community of like-minded individuals, she developed her skills under the mentorship of Joe Steffinelli and Anthony Tony. These relationships were pivotal, helping her refine her artistic voice and explore new directions.

    Her connection with Steffinelli extended beyond the classroom. As one of his portrait painting models, Shrieves gained a firsthand understanding of the artistic process from a unique perspective. This experience not only sharpened her technical abilities but also deepened her relationship with portraiture, an influence that continues to shape her approach to still-life painting.

    Outside of formal education, Shrieves immersed herself in the vibrant art scene of SoHo. During a time when the neighborhood thrived as a creative hub, she took private sketching classes and soaked in the energy of the local galleries. Artists like those featured at Leo Castelli’s gallery inspired her, and the dynamic atmosphere of SoHo left a lasting impression. Shrieves recalls the era as one of genuine connection and shared passion, where the small, supportive community fostered a sense of belonging.

    Her artistic influences reflect her love for art history. Monet’s ability to convey light and emotion is a source of continual inspiration, as are the Dutch painters she admires at The Met. Their attention to detail and use of color inform her approach to still-life work, helping her bring a sense of depth and authenticity to her paintings.

    Shrieves’ flower paintings are more than simple representations—they are imbued with a thoughtful sensitivity. Her background in anatomy, portraiture, and her admiration for historical art movements create a seamless thread in her work. Each piece reflects a deep understanding of light, form, and color, inviting viewers to experience the quiet elegance of her subjects.

    Her career is also a testament to the value of artistic communities. From modeling for Steffinelli to sketching in SoHo, Shrieves has embraced opportunities to collaborate and grow within creative circles. She often reflects on the generosity and warmth of those she met along the way, and while the art world has changed, the spirit of those formative years continues to inspire her.

    Jessie Shrieves’ still-life paintings offer more than aesthetic beauty—they are a window into her experiences, influences, and artistic passions. Through her detailed depictions of flowers, she preserves a connection to the natural world, inviting others to slow down and savor its quiet charm. Each brushstroke tells a story of observation and care, making her work both deeply personal and universally resonant.
