Jessica Jerome (Two-spirited) Jessica Jerome, a graduate of the Graphic Design Diploma program at Nova Scotia Community College, was born in Listuguj Mi' gmaq First Nation. She was adopted at birth by the Jerome family in Gesgapegiag, and is a member of the Micmacs of Gesgapegiag Band, located on the banks of the Gaspe Coast, QC.
As a teenager, she met her biological mother Linda Barnaby, a hobby artist who would create pieces of work with only a pencil. Just three years after they met, Linda died of cervical cancer at the age of 38. Jessica's adoptive parents, Doris and Peter Jerome, then enrolled her into an introduction to oil painting course. In 2004, Jessica began painting her dreams and emotions as a way of dealing with grief, beginning with landscapes, which quickly developed into painting traditional Indigenous imagery with her own contemporary vision. Jessica's art has been displayed in several galleries from Quebec City to Nova Scotia. Her work is owned privately in Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Germany, and has appeared in several art shows. She is currently living in Bridgewater, NS working as a Freelance Graphic Designer.
