About Jessie
I paint because I was raised surrounded by a creative and arty family who always supported my artistic talent and ambition.
I wanted to be an art teacher when I was a kid.
My drive is to make art, teach workshops, protect the pollinators, and help support a vibrant art community in Central WI.
My first year of college, I stumbled across the book about ancient funeral portraits that were painted with beeswax titled “The Mysterious Fayum Portraits: Faces from Ancient Egypt” by Euphrosyne Doxiadis. I became fascinated by this lost art and have dedicated myself to working with encaustic for the past 16 years.
In 2004 I received a research grant from UWSP to teach myself how to paint with molten pigmented beeswax. I graduated with a BFA in Studio Art with a painting emphasis in 2006. I didn’t get into graduate school so I began exhibiting at art festivals.
I am a working artist, an art fair exhibitor, and an encaustic workshop instructor. I opened my teaching studio, Buzz in Art Studios, in 2022. I am also the Council Chair for the Stevens Point Festival of the Arts, on the steering committee for the Hidden Studios Art Tour in Central WI, and part of Gallery Q: Artist Cooperative in Stevens Point.
Buzz in Art Studios is NOT my personal art studio. My personal art studio is located in Stevens Point, WI.
Buzz in Art studio is my teaching studio. Artwork can be seen and purchased through www.JessieFritsch.com
