From cave diving in Mexico to exploring the ruins of a huge ancient abbey in Scotland, what could make Jessica’s heart beat faster? “I entered a talent show one time,” she says. “It took me three cups of coffee to get psyched up to sing.” For this fine artist, though, her adventurous life feeds her romantic soul. “I paint in oil—portraits by commission and scenery that I find beautiful. Often these places and people are from the cities that I have traveled to. I am also inspired by art museums, receiving instruction from a master painter, having a painting turn out the way I envisioned it, music of all kinds, fashion, streetlights in the fog, a deadline, viewers liking my work, going for a long run, brainstorming, and people that believe in me.”
