Jesse Hughes, Jr. a native of Greenwood, Mississippi, developed a passion for art at an early age.
In his work, Jesse often uses contemporary simple concepts combined with a strong traditional technique. He creates art that evokes human emotion through color, light, and form.
Jesse’s artwork has been featured in numerous galleries, festivals, and private collections throughout the Mississippi Delta. In 2005, Jesse was awarded first place in the 2005 U.S. Congressional Art Competition in Washington, D.C.
He is a 2005 graduate of Amanda Elzy High School and a 2010 graduate with a Bachelor Degree in Fine Arts with emphasis in sculpture at Mississippi State University. Jesse is well on his way as an artist and is continuing his studies at Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University (FAMU) Graduate School of Architecture in Tallahassee, Florida.
Jesse now passes his knowledge on by volunteering at local schools and various youth programs while completing school.
