Artist Statement
Jocelyn Ulevicus is an American artist, writer, and poet whose work explores the emotional landscapes of womanhood, grief, and transformation. Her paintings—whether florals or abstract compositions—are deeply personal, often reflecting the quiet complexities of healing, identity, and impermanence.

Flowers are a recurring motif in her practice, drawing on the symbolic lineage of Dutch vanitas painting and inspired by artists such as Rachel Ruysch, Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, Henri Matisse, Georgia O’Keeffe, Joan Mitchell, and Agnes Martin. Ulevicus’ brushwork is expressive and intuitive, informed by her lived experience as a bereaved daughter, a single, childless woman, and someone continually in the process of becoming.

Her recent work reimagines the still life genre through the lens of Buddhist impermanence—inviting motion, vitality, and change onto the canvas. Flowers do not sit still in her world; they leap, climb, dance, and fall, embodying the full arc of living.

Ulevicus invites viewers into a space of emotional resonance and reflection. While her work holds optimism and beauty, it also offers an honest inquiry into what it means to live with heart. To feel deeply, she suggests, is a radical act.
