Collection: Jessi Pfeffer

Jessi Pfeffer is a watercolor artist whose meticulous, luminous depictions of individual fish celebrate the overlooked beauty of marine life. Based in northern California, she began painting in 2014 after years working as a small commercial fisherman, bringing heightened awareness to each creature’s uniqueness. Her paintings isolate singular fish against open backgrounds, rendering intricate details and vibrant colors to honor their distinct stories. By challenging the notion of “many fish in the sea,” she invites viewers into a reflective dialogue about biodiversity and individual presence. She continues to develop new series that highlight environmental consciousness and connection. Collectors appreciate her work for its blend of technical precision and heartfelt celebration of nature.
