Jess

Jess hears the crunch of leaves under her worn hiking boots. She feels the sun warming her bare shoulders and notices how her favorite carnelian ring catches the light. She takes a deep breath and exhales any worries or doubts that filled her head. She looks down and spies a heart-shaped rock, worn by weather and time but still unmistakably beautiful. It will fit perfectly in her collection of treasures found along the trails she frequents.Hiking has always been a way for her to focus on the beauty of the world around her and gain inspiration for the art she creates. Jess feels most alive when she is surrounded by wildness, with only her feet to get her home.
