Hello, My name is Jessyca and I'm an Artaholic.


My love for art started when I was just a wee little thing.  I always got excited about the idea of playing with paint and mixing the colors to make my own shades.  Creating the "perfect shade of blue" is a victory in itself.  The very first painting I attempted was of Mufasa from "Lion King," when I was 8 years old.  I have always been attracted to Disney animation because it's just so darn magical!

"Pride Rock"

Nowadays, I paint completely random things that inspire me at the time most of which end up being slightly on the nerdy side.   You can check out more of my creations here  www.Artbyjessycamyers.com

Exhibit A of my inner nerd:

"Dark Side"


"Stroll Through Endor"


"Rebel Scum"


"Jabba's Palace"


I met a celebrity in Vegas!


But enough about my art for now, there will be plenty more art posts to come!  

Let's focus on my main job for a second.  I am a mother to one human, two cats and a dog.  I am also the wife to a wonderful man who is quite skilled at putting up with me and my "awesomeness." (roll eyes here.)

Typical mother daughter moment

Kisses!! 

What's that you say?  You want to hear more fun facts about me? 

- I was born and raised in Orange County, CA and moved to Nashville almost 2 years ago.  I have yet to say "ya'll."  

- I am a beer and buffalo wing enthusiast.

- I (not so secretly) want to be a mermaid.

- I eat a whole lemon with salt almost every day (yes, I still have teeth somehow.)

- I like my popcorn burnt.

- I don't like cake or cupcakes or most sweets in general.

- Why are all my facts about food?

- I love glitter and think that it should be more socially acceptable for adults to cover themselves in.

- I mainly listen to punk music.

- I take notes while watching "Shark Tank" like I am in school or something... which leads me to my next segment...

Why Steemit?

Like most of us, I want to be my own boss and also have the creative freedom to take my business in any direction I please.  This means that I am constantly trying new ideas both creative and business wise and like to think that some are interesting enough to share with you all.  (Not to be mistaken with "Ya'll")  

My most current adventure is that I have recently been teaching art classes at a couple local senior centers.  I won't give any spoilers because my next post will be completely focused on that but let's just say it's the most heart warming, joyful, emotional and often comical experiences I've been blessed to have.

I look forward to sharing my journeys with you and I hope that my posts will help make your bathroom trips more enjoyable!

Peace!!!

And congratulations on the nomination!

I'll absolutely be doing some tutorials. Any requests?

And thanks!!

The trees in "Scroll Through Endor" are super unique. I would love to learn more about your process for those. The sunset for "Jabba's Place" I think is superb as well :)
