Good Spirits Supermarket
Current Series
The Good Spirits Supermarket invites you to wander aisles of the soul, where everyday courage and quiet resilience are on display. These paintings are a gentle replenishment, a reminder that the human spirit can always be restocked.
The Prophet Painted
The Project
Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet has been read in over a hundred languages since 1923 - but rarely has it been seen. This illustrated edition pairs each chapter with an original painting, offering a way to slow down with Gibran's meditations on love, work, freedom, and joy, and to receive them not just as words but as images.
Jessica's paintings draw on the same well of quiet wisdom that made Gibran - a Lebanese-American poet, philosopher, and visual artist himself - one of the most widely read writers of the last century. The result is a book meant to be lingered over.
Aloka the Peace Dog
The Story
Aloka is a peace dog who walks alongside Buddhist monks on a long pilgrimage - step after step, mile after mile, through landscapes that ask nothing of her but presence. These paintings follow that same unhurried rhythm, holding the quiet dedication of the walk itself.
A small offering and a moment of stillness. Each piece captures the sense that peace is not achieved but practiced - quietly, faithfully, one footfall at a time.
Other Works
Paintings that live outside the named series - standalone pieces, commissions, and explorations that follow their own thread. This is where new ideas often take root before growing into something larger.
About the Artist
I have been making art for as long as I can remember - from childhood classes to a college minor to the many years of quiet, steady practice that followed. Somewhere along the way, painting became less of a hobby and more of a home. It is the place where I bring together the things I keep turning over in my mind: reflection, spirit, and story.
I live in Virginia, where the landscape finds its way into my work as often as literature, philosophy, and faith do. What draws me to the canvas is the possibility that an image can slow someone down - that it can open a small space for pause and contemplation in a world that rarely offers one.
If something here speaks to you, I would love to hear about it. I am always open to conversation, commissions, and new collaborations.
