I’m Jess!
Artist. Storyteller. Maker. Doer.
I have been married to my husband Daniel for almost 13 years and we love to adventure, travel, DIY the ish outta our 1920 forever home, marathon food shows then search out delicious food to eat, hang out in coffee shops and enjoy local craft brews while sitting by a fire in our backyard. We’re kinda connected at the hip, but I’m not complaining :) We have backpacked Europe, gone wine tasting in Napa, climbed a mountain in South Dakota and sat in the Mediterranean but none of that compares to the art we have made together. We are both theatre artists and have a deep passion for storytelling. Not only is Daniel my best friend and soul mate, he's also my IT guy, accountant, tax man, occasional second shooter and all around biggest supporter!
I am a proud boy mom to Charlie and Elliot. Hearing them laugh, watching them play and getting to snuggle them are a few of my favorite weeknight activities. Watching their personalities develop is the coolest adventure I’ve been on yet.
I’ve made a profession out of storytelling. Be it on stage or behind the camera, it is my true calling. I have a theatre degree and teach theater classes to kids at Davenport Junior Theatre. I’m connected to my emotions and don’t mind being vulnerable so you can get in touch with yours as well. I’m a family girl. I am a coffee addict, Netflix binge artist, lover of tacos, sunlight, rain and adventure. I am an enneagram 5 and naturally an introvert but an evening recharging at home with my boys gets me ready to tackle anything. I believe in trying to make a difference. I believe in love and all the forms it comes in. I’m a plant lady and way too into true crime. I am obsessed with our home and making it as cozy a place for my family as possible. I love slouchy shirts and black skinnies and fall weather and crisp morning air.
I can’t believe I get to call this my job and I can’t wait to share my art with you.
