Jess grew up in Niagara, Ontario. Her illustrations have a vibrant and naive quality. Her work is influenced by toys from the ’90s, and candy wrappers, and slightly unnerving ceramic clowns. She loves working digitally with chunky pencil brushes and lots of delicious flat shapes. She earned her BFA from Sheridan College's Bachelor of Illustration program.
