Hi! I'm Jess! The artist behind everything here at J. R. Field Studio.

The process of “making” is rather fascinating to me on a deeply personal level. I spend all this time distilling a part of myself - my experiences, my sensibilities, how I see the world, my struggles, my hopes, my fears, my wonder - into something outside of myself and then I offer that out to the world in hopes of it touching something inside someone else. That maybe we’ll share a connection, however brief, because of it.

As you can see from my artwork, I'm heavily inspired by the natural world. Plants, animals, and landscapes are my greatest muses interspersed with bits of whimsy and dollops of fantasy. On top of the self-directed art I create, I also do work for clients. Logos, illustrations, custom tattoo and jewelry designs, and commissioned paintings are all a part of my repertoire as well as professional floral design. I simply enjoy the process of telling stories and making things that touch the lives of others.

A bit about me. Originally from Michigan, I studied illustration at Northern Michigan University. Since then I've lived all over the place in the US from Kansas to Hawaii, North Carolina to Alabama. Travelling, experiencing new things, hearing new stories, and exploring this amazing world of ours is a love of mine. I'm always looking for the beauty in everyday things and interactions that we sometimes take for granted as well as being awed by the natural and cultural wonders all around us. There is so much to see, hear, taste, learn, and explore if we just open ourselves to it.

That's me in a nutshell. Artist, illustrator, crafter, maker of beautiful things.
