Born to parents who are both painters, it was only natural for Jessica Lee to follow a career in the arts. At an early age she began producing intricate beaded jewelry, which created an immediate following. After journeys across the United States, Europe and Asia, Jessica studied jewelry design & silver work at college in San Francisco, where she also apprenticed under several prominent silver smiths.
Jessica Lee was living in Northern California when a friend suggested that she check out GlassBeach near Mendocino on the PacificCoast. When she saw the beach, she was immediately inspired. Since she was already doing jewelry and stained glass, she thought it seemed like a great idea to combine the techniques together.
Jessica has lived all over, from Chicago, Illinois to Eugene, Oregon and now resides in Santa Cruz, California. She'd like to do a lot more traveling as well. "The world is so big," she says, "and there is so much to see." Jessica's jewelry line is now sold in shops throughout the United States and beyond.
Art House Gifts and Vita Brevis Gallery have carried Jessica Lee for over a decade and are proud to have her as a part of our unique gift and jewelry collection.
