ARTISANS

Jessica resides in Big Bear where she works as a full time artist. 

Most of her images emerge intuitively, therefore she prefers diving right into her application rather than making preliminary sketches.

​Jessica uses a wood-burning tool to draw and texturize the surface of ​the wood.  This is called Pyrography, which literally means "writing with fire".

​After burning​ on the wood she uses ink​ fabric dye and colored pencils to add color.  

Because of the intricate detail in her work, pieces can take anywhere from 40 hours to several hundred hours to complete.
