ORIGINAL Linocut Prints
HI, I’M JESSICA.
I'm glad you’re here! I’m a wildlife artist with a focus on bird and marine life species, based in coastal Virginia. I began my professional career in the spring of 2019 as a watercolor artist and wildlife photographer, which then led me to the wonderful world of linocut printmaking.
Inspiration Behind the Name: The Osprey Wing
I've never known anything other than the quiet of the coast. The salty, fleeting moments deep within the marshes and the ebb and flow of the crashing waves is where I belong. Looking for a soft place to land, a bed of seaweed greeted me like an old friend. A gentle south wind arrived, carrying endless flocks of shorebirds — their wings speckled against the salt spray. If I leave my fears, can I stay here with you forever, little sandpiper? Their wings wrapped around me as the salt of the tides swept me in. A gentle wind lifted me as I closed my eyes to this sea nest dream. To be in a world without shorebirds is unimaginable to me. This is how The Osprey Wing was created.
Nestled in the heart of the Chesapeake Bay, where the salt marshes hum with the songs of wildlife, The Osprey Wing captures the essence of coastal birds and marine life on the rugged coastline of Virginia.
