Jessi Clayton

Born and raised in the Youngstown area of Eastern Ohio, Jessi Clayton began creating art while still a small child. An Identical twin, she has often struggled with her own identity, seeking solace and therapy in artistic expression. At a young age her mother introduced her to early twentieth century surrealist such a Marc Chagall and Salvador Dali, allowing her to realize that her vision and imagination could be appreciated. A graduate of the Columbus College of Art and Design, Clayton moved to Austin, Texas on New Years Eve 2009, where she works on private commissions and preparing new collections.
