Jessica Bovert is a textile artist and weaver working from her studio located on an alpaca farm in Carmel Valley, California. Working on multi-shaft looms, each item is one of a kind and made by hand. Biodegradable yarns such as linen, hemp, cotton, and alpaca are sourced from mills with high ethical standards to ensure quality and sustainability.

"Weaving is both a profound artistic expression and a personal sanctuary for me. Through a blend of traditional and experimental techniques, I aim to create pieces that awaken deep emotions within viewers through a vibrant interplay of color, texture, and pattern. I am fascinated by the rich cultural history of textiles and the often-overlooked story of how fibers are farmed and manufactured. This leads me to raise important questions about the industrial process and the overconsumption of materials in the world today.

As much as I am devoted to my own artistic endeavors, I am equally driven to share the therapeutic qualities of weaving with others. Weaving has been a catalyst for immense personal growth, helping me connect with my emotions and find balance amidst life's ebbs and flows. I strive to offer others transformative experiences through weaving, providing a space for them to explore their own emotions and connect with the meditative potential of creative expression. My ultimate goal is to inspire a shift towards more conscious, intentional living and an increased appreciation for the power of art in cultivating personal growth." JB
