Jess Hirsch Makes Art

Jess Hirsch lives and works in Portland Oregon and received her Bachelors in Drawing from Lewis and Clark College in 2007. She grew up in rural Minnesota swimming until the lake froze over and making movies in the woods. She set out for Portland in 2003 to be the near the mountains and ocean. Her work spans from delicate graphite drawing to large-scale sculpture. She is co-founder of Homeschool, a nomadic art gallery based in Portland, and co-creator of the Portland Healing Project, a healing workshop series and online resource for artists and low-income families to find affordable healthcare through alternative medicine.

When Jess is not sharpening pencils, she rides her bike, takes her precious Boston Terrier to the park, and works on a creative stationery line called, Deer Beard. She welcomes collaboration, Christmas lists, and private notes. Thank you for viewing her website.
