Hi, my name is Jessica Ruiz. I'm an artist & photographer based in Texas.


Having worked with animals and in the woods for many years, I’ve had the privilege of close encounters with wildlife that the average person usually only sees at a distance. Such experiences have inspired me to share these incredible creatures and scenery through my art and photography. Using my art, I strive to nurture people’s connections with nature, so that they might feel what it is to know that “when one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world” (John Muir). This is the common thread between all of my art, illustrated especially through my original style - single line drawings. I hope you will enjoy finding the hidden subjects in these line drawings.
