Throughout this past year, Jess has had the opportunity to create a variety of paintings for licensing projects, and now gets to sell the originals here. These projects have involved a variety of subject matter, much of it new, but all of it interpreted in Jess’s unmistakable visual voice. She invites you to join her on this journey through the unexpected.



Jess Franks is a landscape artist whose original paintings blend realistic and abstract techniques to create colorful scenes that bring joy and peace to the viewer. She specializes in scenes of Maine, New England, coastal rocks, mountains, national parks, (esp. Acadia), oceans, lakes, rivers, and islands. These are paintings for people who love the outdoors and want to bring it into their homes.

What makes a Jess Franks painting unique?

  • Paintings are created in Jess’s studio using acrylic paints on either canvas or panel. The result is layers of paint you can see and feel.

  • Jess carefully signs and documents all of her original pieces.

  • Though prints may be created, no one else on the planet will own the original painting with its original materials. A Jess Franks painting is an heirloom never to be recreated in its original form.
