Jessica Libor is an American artist who received her Master of Fine Arts from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 2014. When I use gold and silver leaf, I am conscious of this alchemical and sacred history as I create my own precious object imbued with ideas and meaning.” I love the idea of making a precious object, such was created historically with the use of precious materials. My mediums include oils, mixed media, precious metals, dry mediums such as pastel and charcoal, and sometimes film and installation. Other concepts that relate to my work are the reflection of nature mirroring the feminine biology and spirit, the use of costuming and fashion to create identity, and animal symbology. It is through strengthening her own sense of self and ownership of her destiny that the protagonist creates the ability to improve her own life and the lives of those within her kingdom. Through using the symbology and tropes found within fairytales, I explore the concept of the virgin’s promise: the process of self discovery that the heroine faces that forces her to turn inwards and to find her own identity making choices all her own against prevailing odds. It is through this process of self discovery that we begin to know ourselves. In life, our choices help us discover who we are and who we are going to be. “My work is about the feminine protagonist creating her own personal mythology and meaning.
