Visual Artist and Educator

If you follow your bliss, you shall always have bliss
— Tom Askman

My name is Jessa Morissey, I am in my twenties and an artist working in Spokane, Washington. I am an artist and an art educator. Everyday is a new opportunity to grow in my passion for the arts. I teach high school digital photography and each moment spent with my students fills my brain with inspiration. I use the the word “artist” to describe myself because I cannot predetermine the art that I make or the materials that I will use to make it. The art develops and manifests itself during my creative process, I get to experience the joy of exploring an idea from beginning stages through completion. I am inspired by the nuances of my everyday adventures and the and the unique qualities that make us all individuals. I enjoy depicting my own world realistically, as well as in a stylized manner. I have always been a visual person, making art is the only way I know how to explain what is happening in my brain everyday.
