Hi, I’m Jessica!  I’m thrilled to have you visit me here. 

I often struggle on which term to use to describe myself.  Pencil Artist.  Pastel Artist.  Wannabe something else Artist.  Quilter.  Designer.  Art supply collector.  Minor league fabric hoarder.  I just love to create! 

I started my first quilt in high school, (many) years ago.  Growing up my mother made a lot of our clothes and we took scrap remnants of those fabrics to create a simple square block quilt.  Although my tastes for complexity have changed a bit since then, that first quilt was where it all started!

As a very firm believer that anyone can learn to do anything, with the right amount of determination, I’m excited to share what I’ve learned through all of my experiences.  I feel like my processes, styles, and techniques are ever evolving as I grow as a quilter and artist.  The possibilities are endless, and I am incredibly excited as to explore as many as I can fit in!

I am also a non-fabric artist mainly focusing on realistic wildlife and landscapes.  I’ve never met an art supply that I didn’t want to learn to use.  Graphite, pastels, colored pencils, acrylics, watercolors, ink, markers, I could go on and on…. I love them all!  Click here to see some of my work from that artistic arena.

When not behind a desk or sewing machine fiddling away with something artsy, you can find me at the swimming pool or the local trail on my bike, running or walking as I attempt to accomplish some crazy goal I’ve set for myself. 

I hope you enjoy your time visiting my site, and get inspired to join me in creating something of your own! 

Jessica 🙂
