Artist Bio

Skyris Jorgensen in a whimsical contemporary artist based in Austin, Texas, originally from Mesa, Arizona. Over the past 8 years, her style has taken shape through the use of bold colors, deep contrast, and flow-like patterns to express her enthusiasm for life. Her inspiration is sparked by the way her subconscious mind interprets feeling, color, and sound.

Over the past 3 years, Skyris and her family lived in beautiful Puerto Rico, where she worked as an artist full time. During that time, she grew her body of work and accepted various art related jobs which strengthened her skills and business experience. On top of art walk events every week, she started PR Beach Painting Classes LLC and would teach guided paint classes on the beach. Skyris thoroughly enjoyed watching art bring people together and that led her to co-host a visual artist group. One of her favorite experiences was connecting with other people who could read paintings like a language. It made for exciting and engaging conversations.

Towards the end of her time in Puerto Rico, she hosted her very own solo exhibition: Movement and Flow. Guests paid for tickets, and the event sold out! 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 for everyone.

Skyris continues her journey now in Austin as of Jan. 2025 and is still producing work. She has an upcoming group exhibition at local Art for the People Gallery beginning March 28th 2025.
