Comfort Through Painting

Jessica was born on October 7, 1996, in Jacksonville, Florida Baptist Hospital. She was born autistic and had a seizure at around age 2 or 3, which caused brain damage, resulting in memory loss of her childhood and only recalling her teenage years. Around age 24 to 25, her brain fully developed. Her father's suicidal attempts and her mother's medical problems were significant challenges, but she found solace with her oldest brother who cared for her. Life improved when they moved to her grandmother's residence in Katies, Kentucky. Her grandparents' house on her paternal side was her safe haven. She has a close-knit extended family with a younger brother and a younger sister despite wishing for more younger siblings. She is goofy, unpredictable, and impulsive. She loves painting, enjoys hiking, and collects vintage comic books, though she strongly dislikes loud noises.
