Program
In 2009 she helped form the Kansas City Arts Incubator's INKubator PRESS, a community printmaking studio in the heart of Kansas City's Crossroads Art District. A year later, Jessica followed her heart to Nashville, Tennessee, where she joined a hard-working community of printmakers at Platetone Printshop. Together, the group has grown from a small operation to twelve members with exciting plans for the future of fine art printing, papermaking and book-making in Nashville. Additionally, Jessica spends her time as gallery director and adjunct instructor for Belmont University, and is an active member of the Nashville curatorial collective, COOP. She continues working diligently on her own landscape and language inspired prints, drawings, book arts and sculptural schemes and exhibits her work across the country. Recently, Jessica and her brother Tyler began an exciting, collaborative illustration and printmaking project called The State Park. When not dreaming and scheming in the studio at Platetone Printshop, Jessica mucks about as a lackadaisical gardener and rides her bicycle. Generally her hands are stained with ink, soil or bicycle grease.
