Jess Cruz

Jess Cruz is a multidisciplinary artist (and a huge Rebel + Wolf fan!) known for creating colorful, joy-inspiring work. 

Jess’ passion for creativity is lifelong and has stuck with her since childhood. Her artistic abilities led her to graduate with a BA in Fine Art from Fairleigh Dickinson University, where she assistant taught art classes and painted murals around campus. After graduation, Jess stayed on as a resident artist and continued assistant teaching ceramics. 

Since then, Jess has been working as a branding graphic designer. She specializes in vibrant, eye-catching logos and custom illustrations. She loves working with local businesses to create stand-out branding concepts. 

Over the last few years, Jess reconnected with her fine art roots and dove back into painting. Her main subject is food, from fruits and veggies, to pastries and coffees. Ultimately, her favorite things to paint are your favorite things: people, places, food, pets, and pretty much anything else that makes you smile. Custom orders are available through her site or Etsy!

Jess lives in South Philly with her wife. You can usually find her drinking an iced vanilla matcha, teaching a class at Fleisher, or breaking out her art supplies at questionable times.
