Artist Jackie Hoysted has a fascination with the human form and how to best represent it. She is drawn to the restful starkness and simplicity offered by minimalism, but she finds more self-truth and identity in expressionism. Her artwork aims to marry these two styles by severely limiting the palette, by confining mark-making only to essential form, and by using a high key and garnish palette to suggest mood and contemplation.

Hoysted is an Irish artist that has made Maryland her home for the last fifteen years. She has a degree in Computer Science from Trinity College in Dublin and a degree in Fine Art from the Corcoran Collage of Art and Design. She has had multiple solo shows of her artwork throughout the United States and has been featured in multiple publications including; the Washington Post, the Huffington Post, and the Examiner. She is also the creator of the project Send Me Your Last Cigarette and the founder and curator of CountDown Temporary Artspace.
