Artist Statement

Time to wander.  That phrase perfectly sums up everything in my life as of right now.  My age, experience and time of life are prime conditions for exploring, curiosity, adventure, learning, and wandering.  I'm constantly discovering the beauties of the world.  The beauty that God creates and subtly incorporates into the smallest of things as well as the life and energy every object we touch has been given by Him.  I've recently found the beauty of mankind manipulating these elements we find naturally and making abstract or unusual combinations.  Like a photograph overlapped with a filter, colors that weren't originally there, or meshing multiple pictures to make one.  When it comes down to art and me, I'm exploring the possibilities. I've been discovering what I'm drawn to, what I have a desire to create and how.  I'm not exactly lost, but learning. I am wandering.

Family

Looking back at 2014 i find the highlight of my year was toward the end. I got to live in California which i loved. Then i got to come home to a house full of everyone which i loved even more!! I sure miss those nieces and nephews that make being Aunt jessica the best thing ever. Late night talks and games with the sibs. And to top it off, going to the temple and receiving the best gift.  Being in the temple was indescribable and I am soooo grateful for sister weeks in california who prepared me for that moment perfectly. The highlight of that day was being in the celestial room with my best friend and most importantly ALL of my family.  There isn't a more perfect scene that captures Heaven on Earth.

Passion

Passion: an intense desire or enthusiasm for life.

Just figuring out my passion in life.  I'll let you know once I pin point it.

Last internship post

Sadly I had to leave sunny California, and it was right before I got to see all of the details I helped plan for this last wedding come together! Which is a shame because this wedding is right up my alley in taste (incuding the heavenly sight of mountains of donuts!!).  The inspiration came from Coldplay's "Sky Full of Stars" song, which had sentimental meaning to the couple, along with a lush winter vibe to tie it all in. These photos are courtesy of Jessica Kettle.  She did an amazing job, as well as Amorology who always gets the details just right.  I am so pleased to say I was fortunate enough to work with these people who have such amazing work attached to their names.

 Yes, the following 3 perspective angles of this place setting are necessary.

As I mentioned, the details.....always just right.
