Jessica Swift

Hi, I'm Jess!

I'm an an artist, fabric + surface pattern designer, author, and teacher in Portland, Oregon.

I believe in the power of art-making as a tool for radical self-care. I make art because it helps me process my inner world, and I feel better when I do. One of my biggest goals – through the art + products I create and the classes I teach – is to help you help yourself feel better, too.

I create and manufacture my own products as well as licensing my artwork to others for branded products such as fabric, stationery, puzzles, books, and more. My colorful, magically uplifting art + words are intended to inspire YOU to live a courageous, honest, hope-filled life.

Life can be messy. Sometimes it's beautiful, occasionally it's heartbreaking, and usually it's just straight-up wacky and complex. Making personal + meaningful art helps you process it all and smooths out the rough edges. It helps you remember who you really are underneath it all. 

You start to:

• Notice more beauty, even when things feel like they're a mess.
• Doubt yourself less and trust yourself more.
• Understand that you matter, just like everyone else.
• See the real you, and you let her out. And, you like her!
• Live the life you're truly meant to live, bit by bit.

I want that for you. YOU want that for you. Grab my hand and I'll show you the way!
