Mixed media on Canvas
42h x 42w in
Juniper Briggs’ work celebrates the quiet beauty found in life’s everyday pauses—those fleeting moments that often go unnoticed. Whether it’s a moment of reflection, time spent with friends, the warmth of the sun on one’s skin, or the simple act of stopping to smell the flowers, these experiences serve as the foundation of her artistic exploration.
Guided by intuition, she begins with a sketch or a simple idea, allowing the creative process to unfold organically. Layer by layer, she applies and removes swaths of acrylic paint, incorporating mixed media elements to craft dynamic, expressive compositions that speak to the human experience.
Drawing inspiration from both cubism and classical art, Briggs infuses her work with a distinctly feminine perspective. Her deep appreciation for design, color, and form invites viewers to pause and reflect on the beauty within their own everyday moments.
Juniper Briggs is a mixed media painter with a focus on abstract faces and figures. Presently based in Northern Virginia, Juniper grew up in a community of artists in the Mountains of North Carolina. It was there, surrounded by glass blowers, potters and painters, that she first learned to appreciate art. As a young adult, her international travels (particularly to Mexico and Spain) impacted her love of folk art and Cubism.
Juniper’s work explores themes of beauty and contemplation with an exuberant hope that stems from her faith. Faces and figures allow her to navigates these subjects best. Her paintings deal with ideas such as whimsy, joy, gratitude, reflection, faith, longing, sisterhood, strength and vulnerability
Pulling stylistically from both cubism and the classics, Juniper’s work offers a modern and decidedly feminine color palette and perspective. Her work explores the importance of taking time to pause and appreciate the beauty in the simplest of moments. She is equally fascinated by the calm we present to the world verses the wilderness of thought and emotion we contain within. Juniper’s work seeks to glorify the Creator by bringing a sense of curiosity, gratitude and love to all of her own creations.
Juniper is currently in her 12th year of working as a professional artist. Her artwork has appeared in publications such as Domino Magazine, Elle Canada and on the cover of Art & Edit Magazine. She has collaborated with brands such as Framebridge and AllModern. Her work can be found in homes across the United States and abroad.
