About

Jessica Leitko Fields is a working painter living in Greenville, SC.

I'm originally from, lets say, Houston, because who remembers anything from before they were five anyway. And there I garnered a love for all things flat and stripey. Add a dose of a Louisiana rice farm on my mother's side and all those fields start to make sense. Then I married a Fields! Like a joke. I liked them so much I married them. 

I went to school at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design where I learned to love paint and color and texture and to really really hate snow. 

I'm typically a teacher by trade with a special fondness for art history and history in general which will crop up in my titles from time to time. 

This is my happy place.
