Meet our artist, Jessica McGhee
Jessica is an eco-sustainability artist committed to lowering her footprint by supporting local conservation organizations, engaging in regular clean-ups, and using found plastics in her work. Her online presence as on social media has helped her spread her artwork as well as educate others about the environment. Through resilience and perseverance, McGhee’s artwork depicts being able to make beautiful things and a beautiful life out of “total garbage.” Her transformation of discarded items acts as a metaphor for the challenges she has faced both mentally and physically.
Jessica started her business Hey Lola in 2003 as a small retail boutique, selling gifts and handmade jewelry. Most of her jewelry is made using bio resin, recycled metal, and plastic.
