Background

Most Artists (the capital is important because Art is different from art, and I'll get in to that later) have a short biography, so here is mine, all academic-like:
Jessie Night was born in Glen Rock, New Jersey, and spent a great deal of her youth traveling and interacting with family friends who were also creative types. When she was young, her parents noticed a penchant for creativity in Night and she was put into formal art classes. She continued with formal education, as well as informal education, in the arts until she graduated from Pitzer College with a Bachelors of Arts with the major of Studio Art with a minor in Art History. Night had pieces in several group gallery and outdoor exhibition shows and two solo gallery shows. Her pieces often feature found objects, use of shadow, three-dimensionality, and movement. Currently, Night is residing in her home town of San Francisco, returning after living in Germany, Costa Rica, and Southern California for several years. She is currently focusing on the idea of craft as "Art", instead of "art".
