Jess Ansik

I'm Jess Ansik, a Los Angeles-based writer, photographer, and digital artist. My creative approach is rooted in a desire to engage my curiosity about the world, particularly my relationship with nature. I believe our environment encourages us to value equally the state of what is alongside the inevitability of its impermanence; to embrace that everything alive is always changing. Art allows us to return to still moments between constant flux and reframe our lived experiences.
