meet the artist.
Jessica “Jess” Jaime is a multidisciplinary artist based in Boerne, Texas. She has a B.F.A. in Studio Art at Southwestern University.
Jess’s work explores the quiet companionship between humans and animals, focusing on candid moments of shared presence rather than traditional posed portraiture.
Working across pastel drawing, painting, ceramics, and photographic processes such as Polaroid emulsion lifts, she captures the tenderness and everyday intimacy of living with animals. Her work reflects an interest in memory, domestic space, and the meaningful bonds formed with the animals who share our homes.
