My escape from music…A newer piece~ I probably finished this one a couple months back. Canvas with acrylic paint applied with a palette knife…smeared with hands and fingers and papertowels. I love doing art and making a mess. When I was growing up, my parents had a sweet little nickname for me , “messy jesse”…as an adult, I still like to make messes ha! I glued a bunch of those magnetic pieces that most people put on their fridge but I had them in a ziploc bag for years. Sooo I decided to put them to work and spill a message. “live for sweet drunk passion”, “must dream elaborate”, “shine, we are beautiful”…

"This is not the sound of an emerging artist, but really the sound of an accomplished artist from whom other singer/songwriters should pay serious attention to."
-Scott Kahn with MusicPlayers.com
"It's the stories she (Jessica Rae) tells through her music that reflect the poignancy of life, the hope and the tales of gripping moments along the way ...there is a rootsy, rock influence with a homespun middle-of-the-road country sound that is both contemporarily fresh and timelessly honest."
