In this season four finale, Nancey talks with multidisciplinary artist extraordinaire (and fellow collage cousin), Jess Owens-Young, about her relationship with time, queer parenthood, and trusting where life is meant to lead you. Jess shares dream stories about rogue elevators.

Jess Owens-Young (b. 1986) is a multidisciplinary self-taught artist whose figurative mixed media paintings and collage work focus on living joyfully while Black in the United States. Her work seeks to highlight Black people’s joy in the US, especially during childhood. Her work incorporates nature, such as the outdoors, flowers, and houseplants, to share the connections Black people have with the natural world. She uses her art to explore the lives of Black people, including interior lives, both physically and emotionally. Jess works primarily with vintage and painted paper, acrylics, oil pastels, oil pigment sticks, and acrylic inks on paper. She currently lives and works in Catonsville, MD with her wife and daughter.
