Artist Bio

Skyris Jorgensen is a whimsical contemporary artist based in Austin, Texas. She grew up in Mesa, Arizona and has spent her career shaping her style through the use of bold colors, deep contrast, and flow-like patterns to express her enthusiasm of life. Her inspiration is sparked by the way her subconscious mind interprets feeling, color, and sound.

From 2021-2024, Skyris and her family lived in beautiful Puerto Rico, where she worked on building her portfolio, connecting with the local artist community, and exploring the lively culture of her new surroundings. During that time, accepted various art related jobs which strengthened her skills and business experience. She participated in a weekly local artist pop-up events and started her own business teaching painting classes on the beach (PR Beach Painting Classes LLC). Skyris thoroughly enjoyed watching art bring people together and inspire the youth to explore their artistic potential. Eventually, she partnered with a friend to co-host a monthly meet up for visual artists to share their backgrounds, inspirations, and works. Skyris thoroughly enjoy the engaging conversations and shared knowledge of like-minded people who could read paintings like a language. She hopes her new connections in Austin will some day spark a new group of enthusiastic artists.

Towards the end of her time in Puerto Rico, Skyris hosted her very own solo exhibition: Movement and Flow. Guests paid for tickets, and the event sold out before doors opened. Her exhibition featured live performance art of a dancer that Skyris painted to encompass the movement and flow concept of the show. There was music to fit the vibe and guests were treated with free cocktails and a personal blacklight to explore the paintings with. It was truly an immersive experience and she can’t wait for her next big idea to take place in Texas.

Skyris continues her journey now in Austin as of Jan. 2025 and is still producing work and participating in various shows around the state. She expecting her second child in September and is enjoying the beautiful life experience of growing her family. She is working on a new series of paintings called Synchromism and looks forward to the opportunities this will bring to her and her family.
