About the Item

Artist Interview: Jerianne, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today. Like most people, I began drawing as a kid, but as a teenager, I lost motivation to create when I began to doubt my ability to make a living as an artist. Now as an adult, I realize that a life without the process of making art is not the life for me, regardless of whether it’s profitable. Fortunately, having regained faith in my work, it has become a substantial portion of my income. My first college major was anthropology, then fine art, followed by animation, followed by graphic design, followed by fine art again, and now I am studying art history. It’s been a long strange journey, but every subject I’ve studied has found its way into my work in some form. My journey to becoming a professional artist began in the Artist Valley at Denver Comic Con 2012. I jumped into the con scene on a whim and discovered that, contrary to popular belief, it is possible to make money as an artist, even if no one knows who you are. Since then, I have expanded my con schedule every year, and I love all the traveling I get to do around the staggeringly beautiful landscape of America. Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome? The majority of my struggles as an artist have been internal. I’ve experienced years at a time when I felt completely unable to make art at all. Overcoming a two-year creative block taught me the most important life lesson I have yet learned: the only way out is through. Having navigated my way through that experience, I now know that I can do it again and that doing so is as simple as putting pencil to paper, no matter how difficult it seems. Being a woman in the arts also carries some unique burdens. I often feel underestimated and undervalued, I often deal with creepers at cons and art markets. I’ve even had a few guys insult my work and hit on me in the same breath. But having found the will to create regardless of my circumstances, these challenges are merely obnoxious inconveniences to me now. Please tell us more about your art. My work focuses heavily on the occult. I am especially drawn to themes of death, witchcraft, and the tarot. I work mainly with ink, though I have begun to branch out into graphite and digital illustration. With my drawings, I like to evoke a medieval aesthetic. The Middle Ages were an era in which the scientific and the spiritual began to conflict, as science often seemed to repudiate the doctrine of the Catholic church. With the progression of scientific knowledge, new discoveries led humanity to increased self-awareness and self-consciousness. Humanity was struggling to reconcile the physical with the metaphysical. While classical antiquity pondered the nature of man and the cosmos, medieval thought was preoccupied with the interrelation of man and the cosmos, a subject which is often in my thoughts. I am concerned with the expression of our humanity and our place within the cosmos, a question with profound ecological and ethical ramifications. I anticipate that as the climate crisis intensifies, the subject of death will weigh increasingly heavily on our collective psyches. I am also heavily influenced by the symbolism of the tarot, a system which was created during the Middle Ages. I am in the early stages of designing a tarot deck in which I aim to develop a symbolic system that can be read intuitively with the same degree of profundity found in the most famous and influential tarot decks, such as the Waite-Smith and Aleister Crowley’s Thoth deck. Do you look back particularly fondly on any memories from childhood? I was fortunate enough to have incredible grandparents who took me to the Denver Art Museum anytime I wanted. I love going there now and seeing the pieces in their permanent collection that my grandparents and I loved the most. Art is a bridge across time and space, a nexion through which we can connect with the people and places that have gone from this world. My grandparents are gone now, but I feel connected to them still through art.
