Hello, my name is Jess. ​​I'm an artist and creative health practitioner based in Mid Wales. I work in the spaces between land-care, creative movement, community and ecological wellbeing – with my practice recently expanding to include performance and video in the landscape.

 

Drawing on personal narratives of queer and rural identity, I'm interested in how queer ecological understandings of resilience, relationality and interdependence can guide the ways we care for each other and the places we call home as our climate changes.

​

As a creative health practitioner, I explore how land-based arts practices can bring lesser-heard voices into conversations about the environment and create space for different ways of connecting, knowing and being with our local landscapes.

​

I work both independently and in collaboration with other artists and organisations, exploring the intersections of creativity, nature and health – often working within rural contexts. ​​​

​

In my current work, I am co-director and facilitator at Field Notes / Nodiadau Maes CIC, a collective of rural LGBTQIA+ makers exploring what it means to build accessibility, inclusivity, and community through slow, gentle, land‑based practices.

Thank you for coming by. I'm slowly adding things here and some pages may not be open just yet.​​​
