Gallery Assistant Bio: Jessica Gilmour-Groome

The artists who show their work here are the
cream of the crop. We need exceptional people
to act as the intermediaries between the artists
and the public, people with knowledge and
passion. The gallery is fortunate to have two
wonderful gallery assistants. We'd like you to
get to know them, beginning with the bio of
Jessica Gilmour-Groome.

Jessica received her BFA from Emily Carr
Institute in 2007 with a focus in painting,
although she did dabble in the realm of ceramics
a bit in her second and third year. Her work

is primarily concerned with abstraction—the

spatial relationships between spaces from
memory, as well as the personal nature and
implications of colour. She is dedicated to
her studio practice and paints with every
spare moment she has. She is currently in the
process of applying for her master’s degree,
fingers crossed. Jessica's other interests include
passing people on her bike, talkative and/or
fat cats, riding the skytrain, coffee, popcorn
and playing dominos. Her dislikes include
literalness, Jonathan Livingston Seagull, jazz-
scatting and that song “Blinded by the Light.”
