bio & statement

Jessica Lee Breed is a multidisciplinary artist, designer, and art director whose work moves between painting, textiles, photography, writing, and visual systems. Her work explores atmosphere, perception, and the emotional resonance of everyday life. Working across mediums, she approaches image-making as a form of embodied inquiry.

She studied at Virginia Commonwealth University and the Savannah College of Art and Design, and began her career in fashion and film in New York City. Her former fashion label and textile collection, willow knows, was carried internationally, shaping a visual sensibility grounded in material sensitivity and refined design.

Alongside her studio work, Jess offers graphic design, web design, and art direction through Daybook Project. She is the founder and creative director of Mother Mother Mother, a biannual art and literary publication.

Across all facets of her work, atmosphere takes precedence over declaration, inviting a slower, more attentive way of seeing. She is deeply interested in how emotion moves through the body, and how creative practice can serve as a site of processing, translation, and connection.
