Jessica Schroer Smalley is a Connecticut Valey native born on July 1st 1992 by a mechanic mother and a radio personality father. From a very young age, she was always interested in the arts and won awards for drawing when she was very young. As a hands on learner and active person, drawing and visual art never held her attention too much, unless it was for a purpose. Later in life, she discovered that a camera helped her express the thoughts and feelings she felt and could not express. From a young age of 15, she recieved many awards for her photography in the school system, as well as her photographs being featured on book covers around the world. As she got older and graduated, she continued to be a fine art portrait photographer and tried to show people the beauty she saw in and all around them. Being featured in Vogue Italia and tattooed on someone across the world by the age of 20, she grew in many directions, but also continued to use the camera as a form of expression. She now is 27 and her focuses in art range from painting, writing, photography, sculpting, collaging, and she also hopes to get more into music and produce her own music album. She is geared towards childhood development and wishes to inspire children to grow as independant thinkers and good people.
