After taking a neon design and fabrication course with Lili Lakich in Los Angeles, Jess studied neon glassblowing under Michael Flechtner to make her own light sculptures. She worked as the Lab Supervisor at the Museum of Neon Art before she moved from Los Angeles to New York in 2021 to pursue her glass education. She currently works as a Neon and Studio Technician at UrbanGlass and is currently enrolled at Salem Community College where she is pursuing her degree in Scientific Glass Technology. Jess is also the creator and director of Neos, a film that investigates the chemistry, history, and future of neon and plasma art and is part of She Bends, a collective of women identifying artists that bend their own neon.
