Jessica Niles DeHoff (born 1978, California) is a visual artist, writer, and educator. Drawing on her career in architecture and urban planning, her work dramatizes interactions between individuals and their social, cultural, and spatial environments.

In 2022, Baltimore’s Lines + Stars Press published her most personal work, “Grief is Pink,” a chapbook of poems and paintings on family and mortality. In that same year Jessica also had a solo exhibition at Taipei’s Ou Space gallery and joined a group show at her alma mater. In spring 2024, she will cocreate a design project with Yale Alumni Service Corps and the Fort Mojave Indian Tribe at their reservation in the southwestern desert. Her paintings will appear at Seattle’s Yuan Ru Art Center this summer.
