PMHS Art Wall Welcomes New Exhibit by Local Artist Jesse Passmore

Pope Memorial Humane Society is pleased to welcome the newest artist to the PMHS Art Wall in the shelter lobby. A collection of paintings by local artist Jesse Passmore is now on display and available for purchase through August 15, with 50% of all sales benefiting the animals in the care of PMHS.

Jesse has been creating art for as long as he can remember. Although he pursued a career in law and became the first member of his family to graduate from college, art remained a constant part of his life. After many years practicing law, Jesse decided to return to his artwork full-time.

A largely self-taught artist, Jesse draws inspiration from nature, dreams, and personal reflection. His work spans a variety of styles and mediums, including mixed-media pieces created with recycled materials. His paintings reflect a wide range of influences, from realism to abstract and surrealist techniques.

Beyond his artwork, Jesse is deeply committed to animal welfare and operates a small animal rescue with his family. That passion for helping animals made partnering with PMHS a natural fit.

The PMHS Art Wall showcases local artists while supporting the shelter’s mission and creating a welcoming space for visitors, adopters, and community members. Stop by the shelter to view Jesse’s collection, meet the animals, and support both local art and animal welfare.

Pope Memorial Humane Society is open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Artists interested in exhibiting their work on the PMHS Art Wall can email art@popehumane.org for more information.
