​
-
fine-art portraits of women across continents
-
multi-disciplinary collaborations
-
community engagement and mentorship
-
the documentary series over Five Years
-

-
and the upcoming augmented-reality installation “If You Would See — Parallel Worlds”, premiering during Art Basel Miami Week 2025.

Its mission is clear:
to empower all through art by illuminating women’s and mothers’ stories — stories that shape families, society, culture, and the future.
​
Jessica’s guiding belief continues to define her work:
​
“Freedom comes when you give yourself permission to choose freely.”
