Hello, my name is Jess. ​​I'm an artist based in Mid Wales working in the spaces between land-care, movement, and creative health - 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 understandings of community, resilience and adaptation 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 can bring lesser heard voices into conversations about the environment and open new ways of relating to our local landscapes.

 

I create work as a solo maker and collaborate 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.​​​
