Oregon Home Magazine Features "Color Cloud: You Never Know"

Emily Grosvenor, editor at Oregon Home Magazine made this month’s issue all about color, and I was lucky enough to get a shoutout in it! Check out the full article “Magic Touch” here on their site.

This pic featuring “Color Cloud: You Never Know” is of a project by the fantabulous designer Natalie Myers and photographed by the wonderful Charlotte Lea.

Jessica Poundstone has long explored making images that evoke color and light, but the Portland artist practically created a new category with her Color Cloud series: dopamine art. “Collectors tell me that the pieces feel calming, energizing, and peaceful,” Poundstone says. The digital works, which she creates with her fingers on a blank iPad canvas, are favorites of interior designers looking to add just the right hit of strong color to a room. “My absolute dream come true is to create a positive, nurturing space that people can experience and count on and grow with,” she says.”

Other pals in this issue include Kristin Van Buskirk of Woonwinkel photographed by Heather Keeling, a beautiful project by Workaday Design and more! Grab a copy when you see it out there, for sure! ✨🙏✨

Jessica Poundstone x Work in Progress

Drawing from the Light and Space movement, Portland, Oregon–based artist Jessica Poundstone’s vivid, digitally conceptualized prints have sparked two graphic rug styles for L.A. design collective Work in Progress—the sibling brand to the agency Denvir Enterprises. The pigment-rich flat weave rugs, available in five colorways across two patterns, illuminate Poundstone’s flair for layering stripes. With an assist from ethical sourcing platform Nomadory, the cotton flooring coverings are sustainably produced in Bhadohi, India, each handwoven and hand-dyed by a third-generation family-owned business. w-i-p.la

Designer Pages Features Jessica Poundstone Rugs

Designer Pages kindly published an article all about my rugs for Work In Progress.

Writer Alicita Rodriguez says, “[Jessica Poundstone’s] work features color infused with emotion. It can be viewed as a digital version of chromoluminarism—except instead of dots, she separates colors into geometric lines.”

Oh my gosh, I love that! Read the article below or over at Designer Pages!


Rugs by Jessica Poundstone for Work in Progress

There's a lot to love about Jessica Poundstone's rugs. They're made of 100% natural fiber (cotton). They're designed by a woman graphic artist. They're available through a queer-owned company. They're hand-woven in India by a third-generation family-owned business. And they are all about color!

Let's start with the artist. Jessica Poundstone is a Portland-based artist who believes "art is part of a self-care practice that changes the way we see, think & feel." Her work features color infused with emotion. It can be viewed as a digital version of chromoluminarism—except instead of dots, she separates colors into geometric lines.

Her bold color combinations translate well into the collection's flatwoven rugs. The fruit-inspired hues create luscious palettes. Avocado is earthy and serene. Wild Cherry is a maximalist fruit salad underfoot. Peach practically drips with sugary spa-like splendor.

Poundstone's creations are offered through Work in Progress, a queer—"as in both gay and weird"—brand founded by Holland Denvir that collaborates with diverse creatives, including women and people of color. According to the WIP website, Denvir wanted to create "a company where the employees and collaborators are representative of the real world." If that ethos hasn't convinced you, Denvir founded Work in Progress because of "no longer wanting to work with a**holes." Cue round of applause.

To create the line of flatweave rugs, Work in Progress partnered with Nomadory, a team that facilitates ethical and transparent fabrication in India and Africa. The handwoven rugs use azo-free dyes, which means they don't contain the main known carcinogenic compounds regulated by the EU. This goes a long way to keeping people happy and healthy at home (or anywhere else).

Real Simple Magazine Features Jessica Poundstone's Artwork!

Exciting news: the May 2020 issue of Real Simple magazine featured my piece “Keep Going 1” in the article “Let’s Hang!” written by Stephanie Sisco and Leslie Corona, and photographed by Bryan Gardner. (The online version of the article is titled 4 Smart Strategies for Creating a Stylish Gallery Wall.)

That’s the short version of the story :)

The long version is that I had no idea this was happening and I bought this issue of Real Simple somewhat randomly and had it in my house for over a week before I opened it! I wanted to wait until I could really enjoy it, which turned out to be during some late-night-me-time: everyone else in my family was asleep.

When I got to the story on buying and hanging art I was like oh cool they got some of these pieces from Artfully Walls, which is a great website I’ve worked with for a few years now. And I was looking closely at the pieces featured on the first page of the story and mentally congratulating people.

Then I turned to page two of the story and BOOM: there it was in the fricking center of the gallery wall, my piece Keep Going 1! My jaw fell open, my heart started racing, and I just sat there and stared at it for a few beats.

Then I ran into the bedroom and woke my husband up so I could a) validate that this was not a hallucination and b) freak the flip out with another human.

When I woke up the next morning I had to look at it again to make sure it was still there. It was ;) I am still in a cloud of joy and excitement over this whole thing.

Keep Going 1 is available at Artfully Walls or here on my website, where you can also find the other pieces in the series, Keep Going 2 & Keep Going 3.

Thanks so much to all of the folks at Real Simple that made this awesome article happen!

Roxane Gay, Jane Eaton Hamilton & Jessica Poundstone (Wut!?!)

Do you know Roxane Gay?

If not, you should get to know her because she is an amazing human who - in addition to being a professor and a writer and a NYT op-ed columnist and a bunch of other cool s*** - has also started a magazine on Medium called Gay Magazine, which is “dedicated to diverse, intelligently provocative work” and “interested in deep explorations, timelessness, and challenging conventional thinking without being cheap and lazy.”

Thrillingly, they have selected six of my pieces to serve as illustrations for an article by the wonderful Jane Eaton Hamilton called “The Pleasure Scale” and I’m so thrilled and honored.

Go learn more about Roxane, Gay Magazine and Jane Eaton Hamilton.

Anyhoo, in the last couple of weeks my work's been featured in a few curator-led collections  including one on Essential Trends for Spring, which features Pink & Acid Yellow [Color Space Series], Red & Orange Squares in Squares and Color Structure 2. Color Structure 4 image also got a shout-out as one of the 99 Things We Love for Spring collection. Feels good to feel the love :)
