Visual Arts Fellowship
Recipient Jess Marie Walker
ASCA
intern Summer Upchurch interviews Individual
Fellowship Recipient Jess
Marie Walker about her life as an artist and
an educator. Inspired by nature, music, and the
art of public installation pieces, Jess Marie's
background varies as much as her interests. Her
work is highly collaborative and has been
brought to fruition by HoWaYaDa,
an artist collective, and
by Pretty
Much Collective. Her pieces range from a
large-scale collaborative and interactive
musical piece (where artists play kettles,
rocks, and whatever is on-hand) to a
smaller-scale collaborative piece celebrating the
beauty of line-drawing and mountains. Her
experiments with sound, form, and public
exposure have been hosted in museums in
Birmingham, Minneapolis, Long Island, Brooklyn,
and Fairhope, among others. She currently lives
in Montevallo with her youngest son.
