Education:
A native of Natchez, Mississippi, Jessica earned degrees in Art and French before living and working in Paris, France; Corvallis, Oregon; and Boston, Massachusetts.
Jessica’s works have been shown in numerous group and solo art exhibitions, where she has won awards for her paintings. She is a member of the Contemporary Collective and the Nashville Artist Guild. Her work can be found in private collections across the country and internationally.
She began her career in graphic design in 1996 and launched her freelance business, Glass Egg Graphic Design, in 2004. Her career in graphic design has given her a love of visual composition, and an awareness of the communicative power of shape, line, and color. These design elements took on new life when she fell in love with painting.
Her 2012 design for a public art sculpture, “City Irises,” selected as a winner by Nashville Metro Arts Council, was cast in steel and installed in Nashville’s Hermitage Park.
