I was born in New York and grew up in Tenafly, New Jersey. I have been painting since age two. Currently I live in San Francisco but my creative process is my home. It is also a lense I am ever peering from. My work is an expression of my inner world and a bridge to the outside. I am self taught. I have no classical training but I am driven, disciplined, and sincere. I am thankful to have such drive to create and it appears everywhere. Through my eyes, everything is a composition or a work in progress.

As an artist I believe the course is as important as where it leads. Both harmony and dissonance bring depth to my work just as experience enriches character. The more experience, the more profound we grow. I apply this to my process, to my art and to my life.

As a painter I communicate emotion through defining colour, light, movement, and space. My drawings are depictions of the sounds I see in music. My sculptures explore a visceral dialogue between matter and spirit.

I have worked professionally as a Graphic Designer, User Interface and Interaction Designer, and as an Art Director. I have also worked as a pastry chef.

I accept commissions and am available for studio visits by appointment. To arrange a visit, please contact me at j3ssie@thingsiart.com.
