You’ve seen the beautiful artwork on Hedy & Hopp’s website, social media and podcast, but did you know who created it? Today you get to meet her. Jessica Hitchcock is the company’s 2022 Artist In Residence and has graciously joined the show to talk with Jenny.
Jessica didn’t travel down the most traditional path in becoming an artist. She started out going to business school and had a strong interest in accounting, but her love for art was still calling. She started doing bookkeeping for an arts organization, while still creating her own pieces. Her art side-hustle grew over the years, and she was able to quit the 9 to 5 and become a full-time artist.
Jenny talks about the Artist in Residency program they have at Hedy & Hopp, and why it is an important part of their values as a company. Jessica discusses why it is so refreshing to collaborate with a company that places such importance on the arts and local community. She also gives advice to other artists who haven’t yet taken the step to put their work out into the world. Jessica even has coaching classes for artists looking to take that leap! Listen to end when Jenny gives information about how you can help Hedy & Hopp chose the Artist In Residence for 2023.
