Jocelyn is a mixed-media interdisciplinary artist, living with her family in rural Appalachia in East Tennessee. After receiving her B.A. in Studio Art from Messiah College, she pursued a career in writing, graphic design, and photography. After a decade of under her belt, several life events led her to leave that work to follow a path into fine art. She participated in the Artist Residency in Motherhood from 2016 - 2019. Her work has been exhibited in galleries, museums, and community spaces all over the United States. She pours her passion for the arts into her local community, serving on the advisory board for Create Appalachia, curating exhibits for EAT/ART space, and coordinating artist meet-ups to foster growth and collaboration.

My current work centers on my everyday experience of chronic illness, related medical procedures, and ongoing treatment—expressed through alternative processes & conceptual experiments in mixed-media. A variety of mediums intermingle in much the way that medication, physical symptoms, and mental health do. I confront the impersonal systems of healing on offer by expressing emotional and spiritual effects of my own illness and medical treatments.
