Inspired by nature, Jessica Pisano’s interest in art began at a young age. It was the beautiful landscape of her hometown of Martha's Vineyard that served as her muse. She later pursued her passion for the arts at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon, graduating in 1999 with a BFA in drawing and photography. Pisano participated in a year abroad program to study fine art at the Lorenzo de Medici School in Florence, Italy. In 2002, she earned an MA in Arts Administration from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Pisano has had numerous solo and group shows. Her work is widely collected in both private and public collections around the world.
