A nationally recognized self-taught artist with autism, Jessica Park was born in 1958 and grew up in Williamstown, Massachusetts. Passionate about astronomy, Victorian architecture and urban skylines, her detailed acrylic renderings of bridges, buildings, houses and churches have a distinctive and colorful pop art quality and other worldly brilliance about them.<\/p>\n

The subject of stories featured in publications such as Time Magazine and The New Yorker as well as a film by neurologist Dr. Oliver Sacks, Park was the recipient of an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts degree from Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts in 2003. In 2008 she shared a Pure Vision Arts Pure Visionary Award with her mother, the late Clara Claiborne Park, an author who has documented Jessica\u2019s life in books. In 2008 a new book, Exploring Nirvana: The Art of Jessica Park, a Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts book Project was published documenting her dazzling artwork and remarkable life. Her art has been widely exhibited, both in group and solo exhibitions and is included in private collections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2276,"template":"","class_list":["post-2260","artist","type-artist","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fm-connect1.fortmindz.in\/wp-pva\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist\/2260","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fm-connect1.fortmindz.in\/wp-pva\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fm-connect1.fortmindz.in\/wp-pva\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/artist"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fm-connect1.fortmindz.in\/wp-pva\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2276"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fm-connect1.fortmindz.in\/wp-pva\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2260"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
