​
through her visual studies major. This combination of disciplines has allowed Tess to develop a unique practice that births immersive experiences.

The exhibition also included a live ambient performance. True Journey is Return, Tess’ solo show of spring 2023, included similar elements. ​

Situated in the realm between pop culture, contemporary art, and the natural world, Tess uses intuitive sensibilities to communicate a tender otherworldliness in visual and musical language.​ As she explores shifting perspectives in our natural environment, Tess’ landscape paintings awaken the same contemplations on nature’s life cycles as her music and video installations.​
