Jessalin Beutler decided that making art would become her life's focus after graduating from Whitman College with a BA in philosophy in 2004. Primarily self taught, her work has taken many forms: drawing, photography, printmaking, graphic design, illustration, paper making, painting and textile design. She started selling her work online in 2006 with experimental paintings, prints and hand made cards. Jessalin continues to explore her fine art practice on canvas, paper and fabric. Experimentation is huge in her creative process. She loves the challenge of reaching beyond a familiar style, keeping the process of making always new.
