Oklahoma City native Jess Wedel has a drive to experience every single thing she can with the tiny life she has. Her friend gave her a blank canvas after she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer at age 27 back in 2016. As her everyday life became increasingly more robotic and ruled by the goal of survival, painting became a source of uninhibited exploration and a space to be creative and curious about all that she was experiencing. Self-taught, Jess works with acrylics and primarily spends days or weeks on each piece, re-working colors and textures until her vision aligns.

When she is not painting, she is traveling solo, contemplating the short and full life of ants, and climbing mountains.
