Jessica Torrent is an abstract artist from Connecticut. Her work consists of brilliantly colored abstract paintings on canvas. Her profile page states:
In the last ten years I've enjoyed exploring various techniques and approaches from expressive art in motion to contemplative compositions like mazes of the mind. I try to allow myself to be free in the moment and paint intuitively with little planning or expectations (though the lessons of my training inevitably find their way into my process). Paintings seem to evolve on their own and whisper to me when they are complete. Things that inspire me creatively include music and nature, emotions and dreams, and the textures, colors and abstract patterns found in everyday scenes and objects.

We started f2images as a way to share our photography with others. Our ambition is to capture and present images in a unique and engaging way. Although we enjoy fine art photography, the technical aspect of image capture is equally important. We are in Grafton, WI...just outside of Milwaukee.

Thanks so much Paula!
Such incredible work! This team is so inspiring, creative and talented!
Thank you Paula, for not only including me in this sampling of artists that are part of our extraordinary team, but for writing about how rewarding it is to buy and collect art.
I love how these three have developed individual styles, and it's fun to read the artist's thoughts and intentions. Each one is adept at evoking an emotional response, something beyond words. Wonderful post!

I love the concept you have left on buying art. It is truly so much more than an accessory! It is it's own state of being, a sanctuary, a place to dream and get lost in....a world all its own!
