Jagoda Auger Biography

United States, born 1981

I paint haunted things—feral daughters, forgotten saints, and forestborn creatures that feel half-remembered, like they crawled out of a dream or an old wound. My watercolors lean into the eerie and tender, layered with transparent pigment and stories that don’t have clean edges.
The work isn’t planned. It shows up when it’s ready—whispers, fragments, signals I follow. Each piece feels like it’s trying to remember something buried. Or warn of something coming.
Rooted in the uncanny and the sacred, my paintings sit in the in-between—where myth and memory blur. I travel often, setting up along backroads and beneath old trees, offering these strange, quiet things to people who feel them too.
