Jessica Silverman

Jessica Silverman has always forged her own path: She founded her original gallery in the Dogpatch while still in school, working toward a master’s at the California College of the Arts. The Detroit native moved from the Dogpatch to an off-the-beaten-path stretch of the Tenderloin in 2013, more than tripling her square footage. The neighborhood was an unlikely choice for fine art, but the gamble paid off: She’s since become known as a Bay Area wunderkind, recognized at art fairs around the world. She represents more than 20 emerging artists that span various mediums.
