Bio:

Jessica began her artistic journey as a dancer when she was a child. Originally from Phoenix, Arizona, she moved to the Pikes Peak region to become a professor of dance at Pikes Peak State College where she taught for 15 years. 

During Covid, Jessica decided to retire from dance and change her focus to working with visual artists becoming a curator and an art agent. She curated a space that not only had a traditional gallery but also hosted Colorado Springs' only permanent blacklight gallery as well as an LED gallery and chromadepth gallery. Jessica’s ultimate goal as a curator is to create a safe space of creative expression for artists of all experience levels. Being an art agent has given her the opportunity to represent some incredibly talented artists throughout the Pikes Peak region. 

As an artist, she enjoys mixing techniques to create a connection between the piece and the viewer. She typically works with acrylics to create paint pours and then collages on top of the pours that she has created. Jessica also creates jewelry as well as other crafts.
