My background...
I am from many places...
Born in the United States, Jessica D Perez still found herself living in Germany and Canada for 17 years.
At the age of 14, her and a sister with her mom and step dad moved to Germany as a part of her parents work. It was here she attended the Frankfurt International School (FIS) in Oberursel, Germany. There she earned an International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma with a focus in Art. It was during her time she learned the oil techniques and understanding of Art History and the impact art has on culture and expression.
Always practicing on the side and keeping a creative interest, motherhood still offered another element to life. After the third child was born, Jessica embarked on her debut as an artist in Ottawa in 2014. Since University and formal arts education were always out of reach financially, she has taken it upon herself to read, meet artists, experiment in the studio and practice daily to improve her understanding of producing art.
jessica continues to explore a variety ways to remain expressive in her artwork, as well as occasional poetry or other creative avenues.
