Bio

Jessica Gaynelle Moss is an artist who supports other artists through her curatorial work, consultancy and custodianship. Over the past decade, Jessica has built a body of work centered on shaping space, cultural preservation and intergenerational care. From her nationally-recognized neighborhood-embedded artist residency program The Roll Up (2016) to her work providing professional development and childcare for Black artists who m/other with Sibyls Shrine (2019) to her vital multi-city Emergency Preparation Workshops that share survival strategies based on Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower (2024) to her Soil + Shelter: Mapping Black Land, Stewardship, and Living Memory Tour (2025), a month-long journey documenting 15 Black-owned lodging spaces.

As an artist, her work refuses limitation and centers possibility. Jessica's practice is grounded in interaction, care and the belief that power is most effective when shared, used to mirror, magnify and sustain the brilliance of others.
