Canadian artist Jessica Fortner works in both traditional and digital media, though even when working in traditional media, there are elements in her designs that appear to only be possible with the help of a computer arts program such as Photoshop. She pays such careful attention to form and detail that it seems almost unlikely that a human being, subject to impatience and emotions, could produce such perfection – and yet – it is her own human art that we see in her traditional media art works.
Fortner is not just an artist, she also writes about art and has two online magazines full of delightful art treats. You can check them out by clicking these links: Squidface & The Meddler and Tangled Fingers. For more art by Jessica Fortner, you can visit her website or find her on Facebook.
