Jessica Rohl is a narrative photographer reflecting on how humans feel. Whether it is tied to music, or contrast in an image her favorite part of art is that the viewer brings their own story in to it. While she is depicting her own feelings and thoughts, she always welcomes the viewer’s point of view. Born in Buffalo, NY, she traveled to Baltimore, MD to be part of the Photographic and Electronic Media (“PEM”) MFA program at Maryland Institute College of Art. She graduated with her masters May 2021. She finished her undergraduate career at the State University College at Buffalo with a degree in Fine Arts. She has been exhibited in galleries such as the Albright-Knox, and the 1045 Gallery. She has been published in magazines including “Draft 15.” She has also been published in books such as, Photographer’s Form: Best of College & High School of 2017 and A Conversation About Conservation.
