Jessa is an artist on the periphery of many spheres of influence and therefore deeply centered in the relational and translational. She is compelled towards pattern literacy and the ability of ritual containers to metabolize trauma.

Her practice merges community organizing, ecological stewardship, performance, sound, somatics, sculpture, video, text and photography. Her process places trust in the autonomous energy of each expression, holding the micro and macroscopic at once, so that we are better able to see ourselves in the both the chaos and irrationality as well as the harmonious order of world.

Her interdisciplinarity reflects the expanse of fields that resonate her, all of them lead back to how we two-legged creatures might reimagine ourselves within the web of cosmos.

 Her education and research includes certifications as a natural builder from Cal Earth (2017, Hisperia, CA), regenerative earth stewardship from Occidental Arts & Ecology (2020, Occidental, CA, solidarity economy from LIFT Economy (2021, Berkeley, CA), placed-based material studies from Pocoapoco (2023, Oaxaca, MX), breathwork training from Infinite Crescendo (2024, Topanga, CA) and webbased tech agnostic composition and sound design with Max/RNBO and p5.js from School For Poetic Computation (2023, New York, NY) Jessa is a founding member of the experimental collective LOVECITYLOVE (2013-2017, Seattle, WA) - a diverse, accessible, and inclusive secular “art church”. Here she co-curated and produced numerous shows and events including Yellow Fish Durational Performance Festival.
