JESSICA FEND
About ME
At 25 years old and stationed in Detroit, I am a Junior at the College for Creative Studies,
studying Illustration and Entertainment Arts. I specialize in murals, painting, and
digital design. Most of my inspiration comes from the human experience
and connections.
I recognized the power of art as a personal medium of expression and a
tool for uniting individuals, sparking conversations, and creating shared experiences.
This year, I was the featured artist at the Detroit Jazz Festival and Arts, Beats & Eats.
I am also actively involved in gallery showings and community events around the city as
I recently worked with CityWalls to give back to nonprofits and put up new murals to beautify the city. As the newest Fellowship Mural Competition winner for The Steen Foundation, we launched a clothing line to support art supplies in Nigeria and Detroit.
I have been featured in The Metro Times, Fox 4, Fox 2, Detroit Free Press, RAW Artists,
Detroit City Arts Spotlight Artist, Fusser Records Artist of the Year, MetroArts Detroit, PBS,
The American Black Journal and more.
