Medium: Jewelry
Jessica Towns-Camara (Sugpiaq/Alutiiq, Yup’ik, Scotch-Irish) uses jewelry to build connections with to her Sugpiaq homeland in Alaska (Native Village of Pilot Point), for herself and others. Based in Renton, Washington, Jessica admires the strength and resilient spirit of her Alutiiq ancestors.
She honors these qualities with the materials and designs she incorporates into her jewelry, while using unique shapes and products that reflect her journey as an artist.
In addition to Jessica’s artistic pursuits, she is one of the guiding voices behind the annual Pacific Northwest Alutiiq Culture Camp. During the pandemic, Jessica led efforts to take the camp virtual, which created a needed space for the community of artists, families, and Elders to continue to gather and share.
