Jessica Taylor Bellamy is a multidisciplinary artist working in painting, sculpture, and video exploring themes of utopia><dystopia, human><nature, fantasy><reality image ><text and the collapsing of time. A native Angeleno, born and raised in Whittier to an Ashkenazi Jewish mother and an Afro-Cuban Jamaican father, Bellamy’s practice considers this particular familial history to address notions of home, homeland, and landscape. The artist’s work is rooted in her observations living at the edge of a precarious paradise of shifting ecological tensions.
