A Little About Me
Born and raised in San Antonio, Jessica grew up discovering her love for replicating pictures on the cover of Disney VHS boxes with a pencil and paper. Torn between two passions, she ultimately ventured into the long journey of becoming a doctor. She was able to paint scarcely here and there during undergrad, med school, and residency. She completed her Internal Medicine program at Kaiser in San Francisco after which she found herself back in Texas to be closer to family. Trudging through life as a busy hospitalist and working multiple jobs after a family tragedy, painting continued to take a back seat. In January of 2024, she committed to renting a studio space as a means of creating accountability, and is now getting to paint more consistently for the first time since her high school years.
My creative Journey
My journey of art creation has been a slow and long winding road. As someone who has only recently accepted the title of artist, I find that I am still discovering myself and my expression through my art. I love combining realism and abstraction. While abstract is where I truly turn off the outside world and let my create of cells come to life, realism allows me as I get to discover the infinite nuances found in life. I have found myself developing a giddiness for Central Texas native plants and currently these have become my star subject.
