Jermaine "JP" Powell is a North Carolina-based mixed-media artist and muralist.

Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, JP holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Pratt Institute, located in Brooklyn, New York. His paintings and public art projects explore the complexities of human relationships, materialism, and consumerism.  As a world traveler, JP's travel experiences have inspired the use of various luxury objects used in his work. Both American and international currencies are often featured symbolically in his work. In his Modern Currency and Pure Luxury Collections (2018-2020), JP uses bold, colorful textures, flowers, patterns, and mosaic tile.  JP is the co-creator of the Breathe: Life After Death group art exhibition featured at the Block Gallery in Raleigh, North Carolina. JP's artwork has also been featured in Cary Living Magazine, Duke University, Art Space Galleries, RaleighArts, The City of Durham, and the DurhamArtGuild. He is fortunate to have collectors throughout the United States, Argentina, Japan, South Africa and London.  In June of 2020 JP was formally announced as the 1st place winner of the Fuquay-Varina Plein Air Paint Off. JP's work has been shown in numerous group and solo exhibitions in Ohio, New York, Maryland, Washington D.C. and North Carolina.
