Jessi received her BFA at the University of Texas at Arlington in 2019. She started her practice in photography, exploring her subjection to self surveillance. With the photographic language she cultivated in her education, her work transitioned into a documentative exploration of self-performative actions. She now has an interdisciplinary practice with a focus in performance that explores impermanence and spiritual philosophy. She also loves working in education. Jessi is currently an artist teacher in Community Programs at the Dallas Museum of Art and volunteer stage manager in Artstillery's production of Family Dollar. She also recently taught a workshop on performing with the camera with the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth’s Teen/Artist Project as a visiting artist. She is based in Dallas, Texas.
