Hi, I’m Jessie Baca —
The artist behind MexiModern

As a fourth generation artist, I’ve been obsessed with painting on anything BUT canvas for my entire life. After serving my community as a destination event planner for 14 years, I was at a crossroads when the pandemic hit and live events came to a grinding halt. As an entrepreneur, I knew something had to shift if I wanted to keep food on the table.

So, I picked up the paint brushes and did what I know how to do.

Back in 2017, I'd been "side-hustling" painting on the windows and walls of local businesses and homes of Santa Fe in my whimsical style. In 2020, it became my full-time gig. My work can now be found all over Santa Fe, New Mexico from local storefronts and restaurants to private residences.

The “MexiModern” Brand was Born

In October of 2020, I opened an Etsy shop with textiles and handmade goods inspired by my mural artwork.

This was the birth of the “MexiModern” brand, showcasing my style of modern folk-art in livable forms. The textile collection has now expanded to include bandanas, candles, mobiles, tea towels, napkins, puzzles, journals, notecards stickers, and more.
