Jess’s artworks bring brightness and light to the world with their vibrant colours and inspiring imagery.
Recently Jess has been using her artworks to bring objects to life too so that her clients can take that joy with them wherever they go. It is so important to see the beautiful colour in life that surrounds you and to feel that joy in your heart when you see it!
Jess much more than an artist, she is a survivor!
Jess was in the throws of antidepressant withdrawal hell. Jess didn’t know then what she knows now. Jess didn’t know that withdrawing from antidepressants takes time and it’s a long journey. Jess didn’t know then that what was happening in her head had so much more to do with what was happening in her entire body.
As Jess crashed at the bottom of a dark ravine, she began to claw her way back up and learn so much more about herself and the world of mental and holistic health along the way.
As Jess climbed up the mountain and began telling her entire story at each stop, people would thank her for sharing that vulnerability. It meant that they were not alone on their own journey up the mountain. As Jess learns, she shares what she knows to help others. Jess is now tapering from her antidepressants again but with so much more knowledge.
Knowledge that Jess would like to share with you to brighten and light the way
Joanne's Biggest take aways from this interview
1. Recognise the stress
Know what you feel when you are stressed. How does it feel in your body, what are you doing to self medicate the stress, how are you reacting to people in your life. There will be many signs of stress before you hit depression. Take the time to recognise them, talk about it more. Get the help at any stage.
2. The ups and downs help you navigate life
Anti-depressant tablets take away the ups and downs of life. They also hamper your ability to feel into your life about what is good and what is bad for you. It is not an easy road to be on, and you don't need to go it alone. Take stock of your life, deal with the choices, and the ramifications. Ask for help at any stage.
3. Use your intuition enough that you trust your intuition
Trust in yourself takes time, and choices, and ups and downs. Understanding your full gamut of emotions means that you will be able to recognise the pushes and pulls of your intuition. It is a free tool that will always be there, but it takes time to recognise and utilise.
