In 2010, Jessica picked up her paint brush again after not painting for 4 - 5 years.  During this time she dabbled in photography and enjoyed the artistic process of taking pictures.  About 1 1/2 years ago Jessica began painting once again with a renewed vision and fire.  Her newest paintings are taken from those photographs she took during her photography exploration.  She continues to pursue photography as a passionate pastime but painting is still her true love.
