Ch. 47 - Jesse Pierpoint - Mixed Media Artist

Jesse Pierpoint is a mixed media artist known for his ability to weave reminiscent imagery and symbols into captivating artworks that connect people with their most significant memories. With a profound understanding of the power of nostalgia, Pierpoint creates evocative pieces that resonate deeply with viewers. Jesse started a branding and design company within two years of graduating college and was teaching college-level design two years after that. From 2010 until 2018, he served as Creative Director at Seven2, a digital agency in Spokane overseeing projects for companies like Amazon, AT&T, Disney, Pokemon and more. Years of live-painting for non-profit and corporate events and a past that involved college-level athletics gave him the idea for a friendly competition between artists. In 2011, he launched the Seven2 DrawOff, a series of live art battles that support local charities. Since then he’s been working on new collections, commissions, and supporting non-profit organizations through live painting across the nation. Jesse’s branding and design company is called Background Creative, which is a collective of creatives in the Pacific Northwest specializing in branding, strategy, and creative storytelling. They work behind-the-scenes, execute on ideas and elevate the brands they work with.
