Jess’ art practice stems from observations of surrounding patterns and abnormalities, generally focused on the ecologic environment. Often choosing mediums that require focus in the moment, while simultaneously allowing the piece to change over time (watercolor, pen, gouache, wood, metal, etc.) She finds the process of creating equally as rewarding as the ‘finished’ product and reciprocally drawn to choosing her studio to reflect what, when, and where she paints - often outside. She has always loved observing, but has recently enjoyed diving deeper within her own artistic practice and how that exploration might impact others.
