Jessica Straus

Jessica Straus is a sculptor from the Boston area. Working primarily in carved and painted wood and incorporating found objects, she explores the poetry of unexpected juxtapositions between recognizable and invented forms. Alternating between narrative and abstraction, Straus's well crafted sculpture is infused with a quirky, yet subtle, humor and a finely tuned sense of aesthetics. Her studio is in the Brickbottom Artists Building in Somerville, MA. Her artwork is represented by the Boston Sculptors Gallery in the SOWA district of Boston. You can get the latest updates on her exhibitions and other art news by checking out her Facebook page.

I have co-curated with Pier Gustafson the wonderful, whacky "Toys and Games" exhibition at Brickbottom Gallery, 1 Fitchburg St., Somerville, MA. December 8 - Jan 21. Reception: Dec 11 4-6 PM

The New Britain Museum of American Art has recently acquired 5 of my sculptures from the "Little Red Dress" series.

You can see several of my sculptures in the Davistown Museum in Liberty, Maine.

I am pleased to be named a finalist for the 2011 10K Margo Harris Hammerschlag Award.
