About Jessa Gilbert:
Jessa Gilbert is a multidisciplinary Artist and Muralist based in Squamish, BC who creates artwork that celebrates the joy and awe of wilderness and adventure through a bold interplay of color, shape, and line. Her artwork is born out of experiences in the backcountry, as she pairs her artistic practice with her work as a certified backcountry guide. Whether she’s curating experiences for others in the outdoors, or creating artwork that embodies those experiences, her goal is to share the beauty and temporal tones found in the great outdoors.

Jessa grew up in Upstate New York before moving to Vermont to study Art and Art History at the University of Vermont… and to snowboard. She worked primarily as a figurative painter and product developer while also competing nationally in freestyle snowboarding. Jessa relocated to British Columbia in 2013 where she cultivated a convergence for her love of art and adventure. She is currently based out of Squamish, British Columbia where she works as an Artist and professionally certified backcountry guide. Here, the union of Art and the outdoors is part of her everyday life.
