Oh hi, didn't see you there! I'm Jessica. I am an artist. And for the 29 years that I have been alive I have been blessed enough to call Houston, Texas my home. This city is every single thing that has happened to me. It is my misery and my celebrations, my heartaches and my loves, my depression and my happiness. It is my biggest inspiration. It is also where I lost my mind. My mind is always on the go. Seriously, it is exhausting. So, I paint and I draw. It is one of the things in life that bring me genuine peace of mind. I think that's why I am so obsessed with color. I've always had this desperate...hunger inside me. And after way too many years of attempting to fill said hunger with all the wrong things, it turns out that the very thing I've spent literally my life doing already, creating weird paintings and drawings, was exactly what satiated me. I need to create. Every. Day. I live for it. (Well, that and coffee.) I think it is so important to continuously practice your craft. So i practice all the time, day or night. I'm always trying to better myself and grow as an artist. There is so much to see, so much to think, so much to feel, and I want to show people what I see, think and feel. There is beauty in so much on this earth. It certainly has its ugliness. Oh, but that beauty... I try to focus on that.
