Jessica Simorte

Jessica Simorte completed her MFA with an emphasis in painting at the University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning in 2014. She is currently living in Texas where she leads Sam Houston State's University's Foundations Program and teaches within their MFA Program.

She has shown regionally, nationally, and internationally and has been included in numerous publications including multiple issues of New American Paintings, Art Maze Mag, and Maake Magazine. Most recently, she was named a “noteworthy artist” in New American Paintings issue #162. Significant exhibitions include solos at Galleri Urbane in Dallas and Virginia Commonwealth University, as well as inclusion in shows at Big Medium in Austin, CICA Museum in Gimpo, South Korea, and Trotter & Sholer in NYC. When she is not teaching, parenting, or painting, she’s probably dreaming of adopting another dog.
