ARTIST STATEMENT
I’m drawn to the wildness that makes us human, and the peace that comes when we honor it. My paintings live in that space—where feeling, instinct, and contradiction meet, and something deeply satisfying emerges because we allowed what is alive in us to speak. I think of my work as inner landscapes: psychological places within that are shaped by sensation over logic.
​
I approach the canvas with questions. What am I feeling? How does this move through my body? What gesture allows it to fully express itself? Instead of working toward a fixed image, I respond to what is present—following the physical impulses that guide my mark making.
​
Each painting develops in layers. I invite raw energy to surface through loose, intuitive marks, then step back. As the work dries, I return with greater clarity—shaping, editing, and listening. Over time, the painting reveals itself to me, and I am often surprised by it. My aim isn't to paint a thing, but to paint and see what happens.
​ My hope is that viewers recognize something of their own inner truth reflected back to them, and feel more at home within it.
BIOGRAPHY
Jacquelyne Sharee Price (b. 1984, California) is a Bay Area painter whose work navigates the space between abstraction and psychological landscape. Raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, she holds a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Painting and has built an independent practice supported by galleries, collectors, and public exhibition.
​
Price’s paintings explore belonging, instinct, and the integration of opposing inner states. Through layered color fields, gestural mark-making, and spatial tension, her work balances restraint with unpredictability—offering compositions that feel at once peaceful and subtly disorienting. Rather than depicting external environments, her paintings operate as interior terrains, mapping emotional and perceptual experience.
​
She is currently represented by multiple galleries and maintains an active studio practice on the California coast, where she also teaches workshops and develops new bodies of work.
