Absolutely love Jessie and her work! She ships immediately, and packages everything beautifully! So excited to give the pelicans I bought from her, to my Mom as a gift! Highly recommend and you should watch what she comes out with!
I commissioned Jessie to surprise my wife with a 45 year anniversary painting of a pair of horses pulling together. Jessie took the concept and captured everything I hoped for in the painting and more. My wife loved it and the painting hangs above our fireplace. …
Beautiful work, lovely portraits as well as landscapes. I am a satisfied collector and treasure the painting of hers I own.
An incredible artist! If you have the chance, commission her for some work. Brilliant artist.

“I can’t tell you how excited I am to find you and finally make a decision to paint again. I have been in my oil paint four days in a row. Saturday was so fun. I loved painting with a limited palette. That was an eye opener. […] I do believe with some guidance I can achieve what my mind envisions. Sincerely,”
– Anne Marie
“I so enjoyed your class, Jessie! Always nice to think of art in different ways or to be reminded of things we had forgotten.”
– Barbara
“Hi Jessie,
I really enjoyed your class, and the way you present things.

About the Instructor

I love to help artists become more confident painters in my online workshops.
I am a professional artist based in South Dakota, an exhibiting member of Oil Painters of America, an award-winning member of the American Impressionist Society, and a Southwest Art Magazine “Artist to Watch”.
My work focuses on capturing the invisible connection between animals in a group, between animals and the land, and between people – in an unsentimental, painterly style filled with visible brush strokes and palette knife marks. The result is artwork which is often described as both “painterly” and “comforting.”
I am passionate about color, composition, brush and palette knife marks, and making beautiful art.
