Jessi Brooks ~ Metal Sculptor, Joy Broadcaster

Jessi Brooks has always been a creator. She began drawing at a young age, finding colorful and simplistic imagery that delighted and inspired her. Growing up outside of Philadelphia, she surrounded herself with artists and musicians that stimulated her inner muse as an artist but felt a calling to the West Coast, more reflective and complimentary to her personal style. Pursuing massage therapy and practicing yoga and meditation for guidance, she embarked on her personal quest to fulfill a lifelong dream.

Upon arriving in Central California in 2007, she learned metal sculpture from a friend, ultimately being the catalyst to re-engaging her creativity and bringing some of her early drawings to life in three-dimensional form. The metal medium challenged her softer, spiritual approach but proved to be extraordinary. Being drawn to imagery that tends to make people feel good, Jessi brings a more whimsical and lighter aspect to metal art, emulating her free nature. A new love was born. 

Since then, she has been working collaboratively and independently, displaying at local exhibitions in Sacramento and the San Francisco Bay area. For almost a decade, she has exhibited locally in galleries, art shows and festival events as well as entertaining many personal and private commissions in her creative arena.
