Jessica creates meditative and expressive paintings that invite viewers to experience peace and wholeness. To her, wholeness means acknowledging all parts of yourself—like joy, sorrow, calm, etc.—and feeling a sense of connection to something larger. Her work is not only about personal meaning making, but also an opportunity for others to step into that transcendent state for themselves.

Jessica earned her BFA in Graphic Design, her MS in Education from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, and is a teaching artist at Belle Morris Elementary.  She works primarily in acrylic, ink, watercolor, gouache and mixed media on canvas and paper.
