Originating from the Midwest, Jessie learned a love of slow craft in the quiet, rural areas she grew up in. Now residing in the vibrant, high energy Bay Area, she reconnects with slow practice through her detail-oriented art.

Jessie’s interest in botanical art comes from her roots wandering the woods and meadows during childhood, observing the natural world as it slowly changed from season to season. Her main mediums are tapestry and watercolor, but she also works in other painting mediums and with the written word.

An alum of The Atelier School of Classical Realism, she continues her work independently and through the botanical art program with the New York Botanical Garden.
