About Me

About me sections are so awkward, right?

Hello and first things first, my first name is Jessica to the Department of Motor Vehicles but to everyone else it is Jess or Jesse.  I am an artist working mostly in watercolors and I currently do a lot of nursery and children’s room art.  That is probably because my favorite subjects are forest animals, anything adorable, classic literature quotes, and lyrics.  I don’t have any children myself but I do have 3 nieces that are the most perfect beings I have ever known.  They have taken my heart right out of my chest, I know that is cliché to say but my nieces really are special…I just know it.  I have a background in biology and use some of my science geekery in my current work with polystyrene accessories which is paying the bills right now so I am very happy with my “in progress” Etsy shop.    At the moment I am mostly selling jewelry and accessories but by the end of the year I hope to have some of art print sets available for sale online.   

I aspire to open my own studio someday or get hired by Disney as a conceptual artist.  I actually have some really great ideas for a home décor line that would be perfect for the parks and I would LOVE to show you but the only thing that scares me more than the California sun (SPF 80 for me) are Disney’s intellectual property attorneys so I will not be previewing that line for anybody but my momma.  But it is very real so cross your fingers that dreams really do come true.
