Jess Self at the Marietta Cobb Museum of Art presents work by the Atlanta-based artist whose practice engages with narrative, symbolism, and the construction of identity through figurative painting. Self’s compositions often combine elements of fantasy, folklore, and contemporary life, creating richly layered scenes that invite interpretation.

Her work frequently explores themes of transformation, memory, and the body, using stylized figures and immersive environments to build visual stories that feel both personal and mythic. Through a careful balance of detail and atmosphere, Self creates images that suggest shifting realities and emotional depth.

By bringing together a selection of recent work, the exhibition highlights Self’s evolving visual language and her ability to merge storytelling with painterly technique, offering viewers an experience that is both imaginative and introspective.
