Kolaj Fest New Orleans is a multi-day festival and symposium about contemporary collage and its role in art, culture, and society, 12-16 June 2024. Visit the website to learn more, see an overview of the program, and register to attend.
Hailing from the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Jessa Dupuis wowed attendees at last year’s Kolaj Fest New Orleans with her tunnel books. Jessa will share her creative process and lead a collaborative sketchbook exchange project in her upcoming workshop. Each participant will receive a tiny sketchbook to collage and trade with others during the festival. Jessa describes her artistic process as “playful, organic, and therapeutic.” She challenges herself to carefully observe and extract beauty and hidden meaning from the seemingly ordinary, allowing her work to evolve naturally as she creates. She is excited to create and exchange collage art with you!
ARTIST BIO
Jessa Dupuis is a collage and mixed media artist living and working in the beautiful Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Her work is a delicate balance of losing, winning, observing, wondering, letting go, and reclaiming. Merging art and design, abstraction and order, truth and fiction, she intends to create pieces that allow people to laugh, cry, wonder, and connect with their narratives in her visual storytelling. She favours the weird and fantastic bits of life and hopes you enjoy the weird and wonderful from her messy studio. Kolaj Magazine Artist Directory and www.jessadupuis.art.
