Hi, I'm Jess!
I'm an artist, fabric + surface pattern designer, author, online educator, and mama.
Every day is an opportunity to create something beautiful + true.
I make art because I feel better when I do. The art I create and the classes I teach are intended to help you help yourself feel better, too.
Life can be messy. Sometimes it's beautiful, occasionally it's heartbreaking, and usually it's just straight-up wacky and complex. Making personal + meaningful art helps you process it all and smooths out the rough edges. It helps you remember who you really are underneath it all.
You start to:
- Notice more beauty, even when things feel like they're a mess.
- Doubt yourself less and trust yourself more.
- Understand that you matter, just like everyone else.
- See the real you, and you let her out. And, you like her!
- Live the life you're truly meant to live, bit by bit.
I want that for you. YOU want that for you. Grab my hand and I'll show you the way!
