Jessica Elder

Jessica Elder is a contemporary artist known for transforming digital processes into bold and approachable works of art.

Her practice explores the intersection of technology, design, and popular culture, bringing together 3D-printed forms, acrylic paint, and resin in compositions that are rich in color, texture, and energy.

Inspired by the objects, imagery, and experiences that shape collective memory, Elder creates work that feels both familiar and unexpected.

Bright palettes and playful forms draw viewers in, while carefully constructed surfaces reveal a process grounded in innovation and craftsmanship.

Originally trained in engineering, Elder brings a unique perspective to contemporary art. Rather than separating technical thinking from creative expression, she uses both as complementary tools, developing works that reflect a thoughtful dialogue between digital fabrication and artistic intuition.

Based at the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria, Virginia, Elder continues to build a body of work that celebrates imagination, accessibility, and the evolving possibilities of contemporary art.
