These images are ‘visions’ in that each canvas is a visual poem, a meditative process of responding to  the formal qualities of color, proportion, weight of paint, quality of edges and so forth.  I paint with no specific image or end point in mind,  encouraging  instinct to guide my hand visually and emotionally. 

The enduring quality of abstraction is its ability to arouse visceral reactions regardless of the viewer’s frame of reference.  The power of line, in the work of Jessica Fromm, performs as an emotional quality or energy and as a structural, organizing force that intrigues the viewer and encourages a desire to see what the next new work will be; what new contradictions will exist, what new surprises she can create.

Fromm’s exploration of the painted line expressively subverts the rational structure of her compositions in exciting, unexpected ways...her paintings are imbued with an emotional resonance...Fromm’s new paintings are important not only because they make spare, set elements remarkably expressive, but because they make color, light and texture inseparable.
