Jessica is a current resident artist at Seward Park Clay Studio in Seattle, Washington.  She was first introduced to ceramics in architecture school, where she was encouraged to use clay to express form and structure.  While traveling through Scandinavia, Jessica was inspired by the way light and shadow was used in their architecture to generate rhythms throughout a space.  She viscerally felt how one could be push and pull through their structures.  Nordic minimalism resonates with her because of how it removes all that is non-essential and leaves simple and bold forms with a clear articulation of thought and purpose.  In her functional work, she constructs strong forms with refined lines to reveal a pure expression of intent. In her most recent series, ancient Asian bells were used as inspiration to generate 'rivets' to enhance the scale and proportion of each piece.  In her sculptural work, Jessica aspire to offer the viewer an inhabitable structure, where a fluid movement draws one in and provides a sense of place.
