Jessica Dougherty
Jessica Dougherty is a southern girl from Baton Rouge, Louisiana no matter where she’s actually living at the moment. Another fan of Gil Elvgren she’s looking for that little laugh along with the soft and sultry women she paints. Jessica paints “real” women who you’d meet on the street and searches out models who have personality and “own” their sexuality proudly.
