Jeshka BodyArt

Jeshka has been an artist for most of her life. Of course every child loves to play pretend and finger paint, and Jessica was in her first play at 8-years-old. Coming from an artistic family, (Both parents have an art degree), Jessica was always encouraged to be expressive. Painting or drawing on paper however had always seemed like a struggle. Let alone a canvas. Jessica never realized her talent until she took an art 101 class her senior year of high school, when her teacher told her that she should have taken the Art 5 AP class! In her teenage years Jessica’s attention was on modeling and acting, and so in college she earned an A.A. While in college Jessica got a job face painting at children’s birthday parties on weekends. Painting artwork that was fast and temporary took Jessica’s nerves away about paint. And the fact that it was temporary made that artwork all the more beautiful and unique. Jessica has a serious hobby in modeling, and soon after college discovered that she loved to model in body painting photoshoots. Jessica met body painter Trina Merry, and Merry had Jessica as a bodypaint apprentice for about 2 years. Having a body painting mentor has been a tremendous educational opportunity for Jessica, and now she has the knowledge and skills to continue improving and create a profession.
