Hello, I'm Jessica
Salt & Soul is my studio for original paintings that live somewhere between landscape and feeling. I’m drawn to light more than landmarks — magenta clouds at the edge of evening, a thin bright line on water, soft fields under a huge sky, and abstract color that still carries the salt air of home.
These aren’t souvenir beach scenes. They’re atmospheric studies: impressionistic skies, quiet horizons, and small canvas color fields finished with gold-edged wraps or warm frames. Each piece is signed JK and made to hold its own on a wall without needing a whole “coastal decor” story around it.
I work in layered paint — sometimes thin and washed, sometimes thick and gestural — chasing the mood of weather and time of day. If a painting makes a room feel clearer, softer, or a little more alive, it’s done its job.
Whether you’re looking for a ready original or a commission tuned to your space, I’d love to hear what light you’re after.
