Jocelyn Vache (pronounced Vahsh) was born in Massachusetts, USA.
She is an environmental artist fascinated by the changing states of matter and beings, particularly in the decomposition/rebirth cycle and its actors -- be them micro or macro. Her art examines the intersections of the natural, the man-made, and the existential worlds.
She had felt a constant pull between the drive to create and the impact of art materials usage on the planet. Her journey has culminated in an art making process where she focuses on the local – growing and foraging as much of her own material as possible. Her paintings are done with earth pigments in soy milk on cloth and she consciously audits the life cycles of all the products she uses.
Outside of the studio, she participates in street painting festivals to join a fleeting community of collective creativity, where all the members accept that their creations will be gone in a season.
​
She aims to make sustainable art and to offer art prints and objects through verified ecologically responsible -- preferably carbon neutral -- sources. She considers the second highest compliment she could receive, after someone purchasing her artwork, to be that collector's recycling or composting it at the end of its life cycle.
