Jessica McGrath
Jessica spent 31 years as a Navy spouse and enjoyed traveling throughout the world and all around the U.S. Form, line, shape, and color have always intrigued her. She worked as a jewelry and accessories buyer for a major department store, leading to a lifetime of learning, making, and teaching. Jessica’s work focuses on her love of color, texture, and geometric form. She uses enamel, gemstones, silver, gold, and patina in her jewelry, adding texture to her work by creating plates etched with the photographic images taken during her travels.
