In this episode, we bring in our first guest, artist Jessica Holly. Jessica grew up in the Bobtown area of Madison County, attended Berea College, and now works in digital media, graphic design, and fine arts. In short, she’s the whole package and the real deal. Her fresh perspective brings Becca, Jenny, Katie, and Kelly new ideas about the role of art in communities. And of course, we can’t help but be curious about her process in designing the logo of “That’s What We said.” We learn how Jessica uses color as a springboard to meet a client’s vision for design and how free drawing keeps her creative mind active. Jessica talks about her work with local non-profits to make art that’s meaningful to the places she calls home. As the parents of young artists ourselves, we want to know about how Jessica’s family helped her develop her identity as an artist. We now have #squadgoals to be like Jessica’s grandma and do 100 toe touches every day!
