Hi! I’m Jessica!
I am a children’s book author, artist, poet, and enthusiastic maker/baker/picture-taker of anything that inspires me. I am a firm believer that words create worlds and that imagination and creativity are at the heart of life. Based in Austin, Texas, I move between writing, painting, and creating with a sense of play and wonder.
