ABOUT JESSALYN CLAIRE

Chattanooga Artist & Muralist

 
 

I’m Jessalyn Claire, a multidisciplinary artist offering fine art murals, hand-painted window art, and fine art commissions based out of Chattanooga, TN.

My work is rooted in curiosity, empathy, and the belief that creativity is a powerful way of understanding and reshaping the world around us. Much of my work is inspired by the natural world, with an emphasis on birds, native plants, botanicals, and other familiar elements of nature appearing throughout my paintings and mural work. I’m especially drawn to naturalist imagery and expressive realism.

I am the author and illustrator of an award-winning children’s book, Little Birder: A Field Guide to Birds of the Alphabet. I have worked across disciplines and materials, from oil pastel and digital illustration to cardboard sculpture. Rather than focusing on a single medium, I’m drawn to processes that invite experimentation and allow unexpected connections to emerge.
