Jessica Wachter is a highly-acclaimed abstract expressionist artist based in Bismarck, North Dakota. Wachter’s mixed media and oil on canvas work is strongly gestural and often large in scale.

Her work is not simply a static piece on a wall, but a powerful living presence in a space that elevates the environment to new levels of beauty and inspiration.

Wachter’s pieces reside in public and private collections throughout the world. Her work has been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions around the United States. Hosts to her work have included, among others, the International Art Basel Event in Miami, FL, Laguna Gallery of Contemporary Art, in Laguna Beach, CA, the juried Celebration of Fine Art show in Scottsdale, AZ and the Plains Art Museum in Fargo, ND.
