I am a full time mixed media, collage artist. Born and raised on a farm in Nebraska and then moved to Germany as a child, I got to experience two different worlds. The slower & simple farm life, to being surrounded by European culture and living in a city. My art reflects that in my use of vintage items such as used books, old newspaper scraps and combine that with modern people and places from around the world. I love creating something from nothing.
Hello.
I'm Jess
Juxtaposition describes my life and work beautifully. From farm girl to International artist, I learned to appreciate the simple life on the farm, but also take in the rich European culture. I use vintage things such as old books, magazines, or photographs, and I find modern pictures of people and places and create something new. Creating art for a cause such as awareness for Human Trafficking, adoption, or advocating for women and children is also important to me.
