June Erica Vess is a mixed-media artist based in Richmond, Virginia. Through simplicity of form, June creates fresh, modern works that delight in the marriage of color and shape. Drawn simultaneously to classic illustration, mid-century design, and abstract art, she enjoys creating work that blurs the line between old and new.

For June, stepping into the studio is an act of discovery. Unless she is working directly from a photograph or a carefully arranged still life, she rarely knows exactly what will emerge on that day.

Working primarily on paper, she occasionally transitions to canvas for her larger-scale works. While her portfolio features fluid watercolors, her main choice of medium is acrylics. When diving into her signature abstracts, she masterfully blends these acrylics with colored pencils and elements of collage, creating rich, textured layers that invite viewers to appreciate both the final vision and the journey it took to get there.
