Jessica Zemsky currently lives in Montana, Zemsky says that her work is "mostly people oriented. I paint not a nostalgic look back to a lost time but an unexpected view of life in Montana today. I believe my work shows my love and deep commitment to the feelings of rural and mountain life as it is still lived in places like Montana."

Born and raised in New York City, Zemsky studied and graduated from the Pratt Institute of Art, and, she says, "took art everywhere in New York that offered classes." She is a founding member of the Western Rendezvous of Art, the Plein Air Artists of America and the Pastel Society of America. Her paintings and portraits are in private collections and museums in America and Europe.
