About The Artwork
This home in the South Park area of San Diego was most likely built in the 1920s, as were most of the homes in this neighborhood. This Cape Cod California Craftsman home has been slowly deteriorating through neglect for the past few decades. Recently, the drug dealer who lived and operated out of the home was evicted when police staged a raid with flash bang grenades and multiple arrests. I took the photo for this painting shortly after the raid. I was struck by how beautiful the light and shadows looked on the home despite the boarded up windows and peeling paint. Currently the home is being renovated. It is now turquoise with white trim, with work being done to reverse the damage of years of deferred maintenance.

Jessica Newman's work focuses on urban landscapes, specifically abandoned and neglected architecture. Newman’s work concentrates on her current city of San Diego. She is documenting the changing city, and by extension, the people living there. She researches the carefully chosen subject buildings, and photographs them at sunset, which is not only the most flattering of all natural light, but also a metaphor for architecture that is about to disappear. Her style is contemporary realism with a focus on pleasing color schemes that are often in opposition with the lonely and desolate subject matter. Jessica Newman is a full-time professor at the Art Institute of California-San Diego, where she has been teaching for 11 years. She is also an internationally published author. Her textbook Perspective and Sketching for Designers has been published in both English and Chinese.
