Hello, I’m Jessica Mae

I have worked both as a teacher as well as a Graphic and Web Designer.  I graduated from California State University, Chico with a BA in English Education.  I taught as a substitute for the Folsom Cordova School District for a year, and then worked for the Seoul Metropolitan Office Education, in South Korea for two years.  I then went on to get a Multimedia Design Certificate from California State University, East Bay. I started Trinity River Design, a Graphic and Website Design business, in 2008.  This has given me the opportunity to use my artistic abilities and talents to work with a variety of businesses, clearly illustrating their identity, so that they may communicate this with their clients. I continue to work alongside businesses in this way as I raise my three amazing children (8, 11, and 14.)

One of my great passions in life, is learning about and expressing myself through art. I have taken college level courses, including Intermediate and Advanced Painting, Photography, Ceramics, and Art History.  I have also grown as an artist by attending art classes at Chico Art School, with Janet Lombardi Blixt, alongside other wonderful adult artists, since 2017.  I have participated in art shows at Chico Art Center, Beatniks Coffee House, and Open Studios Art Tour. I believe that the act of creating art is not only a skill that can be practiced and improved upon, but it is also therapeutic to the mind, body, and soul. 

It is my pleasure and joy to be a part of not only creating, but teaching, and encouraging others in their personal art practice.
