Jessica had gained experiences in working as a painter, translator, sport and health coach, courier, children hostess and as a doctor`s receptionist in one of the leading hotels of the world. Over the last few years Jessica turned away from these multi-activities and focused on her spiritual growth which is reflected by her paintings.

Jessica`s abstract acrylic paintings invite the observer on a journey deep within themselves. She loves to play with the full abundance of colors, materials and texture in her paintings. Through sand, wax, modeling paste and other materials she creates a vivid shot of the moment on canvas, which may hold the story of a whole lifetime and may make the observer wonder about concepts like future and past, impression and expression, forms and things, moods and feelings The complex simplicity of her paintings contains much spiritual teachings which are delivered to the observer by energetic codes that may trigger and activate sleeping dna patterns, forgotten memories or well hidden desires of the soul. Every painting offers much healing energy that expands from the canvas in a gentle and loving way, yet carries the observer vividly to the other realms and his or her own safe space of free imagination.
