Jessie has always had a passion for the arts. She grew up in a household of artists and craftsmen. At a young age she started to take art classes in sculpting and ceramics. Enjoying the tactile experience of working with her hands she began working in jewelry making and beading. She created her first business, Jessie's Jewels, at the age of 12, where she sold jewelry to her friends, family and school teachers.
Her love of art and running her own business continued to develop into adulthood. She started to develop her voice as an artist and opened her business Jessie Jewels Art, dropping the apostrophe. Jessie is a member of Providence Artisans. Her work can be found in local galleries and shops, at the Hope Street Artisan's Market, Waterfire Arts Plaza, Scituate Arts Festival and other local art festivals. When Jessie is not working in her studio or teaching art workshops she can be found spinning her hula hoop (sometimes on fire) or spending time in nature.
