What happens when you get 45 people to breathe in unison? Allow Jessica Gorlicky to describe it for you! Jessica is a high-energyperformance artist/live painter who has learned to use art as a therapeutic tool throughout her life.
She's in the Hvr studio today with Nelson and Casie, sharing how she got into art as a child (thanks, Bob Ross!), how she came to enjoy it as a career, and how painting massive murals has afforded her the privilege of traveling the world.
