About

Mission

At Shepherd’s Ranch Studios, we believe that artistic expression is for everyone—not just the masters—and we’re here to nurture the joy of making, exploring, and discovering through art. Our goal is to inspire confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of creativity, no matter where the journey leads.

My Story

Hi, I’m Jessica, your teacher at Shepherd’s Ranch Studios. I’ve been immersed in the arts most my life, starting in my childhood in the performing arts. In college, I was an art major for some time as my sights were set on being a special effects make-up artist. Life plans shifted and I ended up in education for 14 years teaching several different subjects including ceramics at the high school level and visual art at the middle school level. Now, I’ve created my own small group classroom out of my home serving groups up to 8.
