Artist Bio or Résumé
Jessica Murdock is a graduate of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and has spent the last twenty years in Salem, living and creating under the tallest tree in her neighborhood by the North River. Fortunate to begin her artistic pursuit at Norwich Free Academy in Connecticut, she was able to dig deep into every medium that caught her interest. This developed into many years studying portraiture, painting, woodworking, fibercrafts, and works on paper. Most recently, her artistic work included a five year project of daily art, various commissions for tattoo designs, participating in both Lynn and Salem figure drawing groups, and a handful of murals for local businesses. Ongoing passions include restoring her antique house, working locally as a veterinary technician, running her Etsy shop of archival prints, taking care of her rescue dogs and cats, and the endless pursuit of learning new skills for a life consumed by challenges and creativity.
