Jessica is an artist who loves to explore the deep and difficult questions in life. Unpacking these often present emotions that can be difficult to communicate verbally, but can be felt and understood visually.

Her journey with Topical Steroid Withdrawal began in October of 2016, which is a debilitating and under-the-radar preventable health condition due to the over-prescribing of topical corticosteroids, typically used to treat eczema. This long journey in healing continues to teach her the importance of fixing our eyes only on Jesus as the source of our hope, joy, and salvation.

After years of being physically unable to make art, in 2022 she began a new series that has taken the form of abstract expressionism. It is dedicated to raising awareness for TSW and aiding ITSAN.org's advocacy efforts. Her art unpacks different emotions felt throughout the process of healing, exploring the emotions of grief, and what it means to have joy in suffering.

She also enjoys illustrating and painting cultures, testimonies, horses, and landscapes. She works primarily with graphite pencil, traditional oil, acrylic, and watercolor paints. Her clientele locally, global heart for missions, and heart the persecuted Church continuously fuel the appreciation for diversity. The variety of these relationships, and numerous trips nationally and internationally to volunteer, inspire her with how we connect at the Cross, how we love Jesus, and therefore our neighbor.

When she is not making art, you can find her selling real estate, serving as a wife and mother, and involved at College Park Church.

Thank you for your time, and may your day be abundantly blessed!
