I’m Jessica Sanchez born in Bronx New York raised by my Dominican parents in New York and Miami. In 2014, I donated a kidney to my sister, who is battling ongoing kidney disease. This profound experience deepened my gratitude for life and solidified my commitment to living with love and intention, marking the beginning of my creative rebirth. The act of giving life to someone so close became a catalyst for my journey as an artist, intertwining themes of nurture, growth, and self-reflection. This personal transformation led to the founding of JS.REBIRTH in 2018, an initiative grounded in the belief that through self-love and connection, we have the power to shape our own lives and contribute to the betterment of the world.

This journey is reflected in my "Water Yourself" series, where I reimagine plants as people, drawing inspiration from the strength of nature and the diverse array of flowers to symbolize various nationalities. The plant-people I create are a testament to the energy and resilience we all carry within, with their bodies emulating the stems, thorns, leaves, and roots of plants. Playful, Matisse-inspired curves bring these figures to life, emphasizing our imperfections—represented through visible brush strokes—that make us inherently beautiful.

My work serves as a metaphor for the transformative potential of self-love, with each petal weaving together my personal journey, including life-altering moments and the transient beauty found in unexpected connections. Whether through teaching or my art, I aim to nurture the creative spirits of others and illuminate the radiant energy within every individual.

The central theme of "Water Yourself" transcends societal pressures, reconnecting humanity with the essence of nature and the continuous evolution of our souls. Currently, I’ve been exploring texture in my painting by incorporating ribbons, plastic leaves, dehydrated flowers, and using crepe or foam paper to create the flower heads, seeking a deeper connection through texture. This exploration not only reflects my ongoing commitment to growth but also reinforces the belief that, much like nature, we are constantly evolving, blooming through love, compassion, and connection.
