My Take
Jesse Waugh interests me precisely because he resists a single label. A Berkeley-born painter who is also a film director and photographer, he studied in San Francisco and still puts his work out into the world through his own site and Instagram. There are no big awards listed yet, and honestly that is part of the appeal for me. Artists who create from compulsion rather than for accolades tend to produce the most honest work. I read him as a free-spirited Bay Area maker, and I am quietly curious to see where his eye takes him next.
