Speechless and grateful. And speechless!
This week left me speechless and grateful. For the first time in years, I stepped back from showing at an art fair to enjoy Miami Art Week from the other side, while still supporting JDR Atelier at Booth 903. We took a much-needed Thanksgiving break in the Bahamas, where the kindness of friends and the reality of life’s unexpected turns reminded me of what truly matters: love, family, resilience, and showing up with grace.
Unchained Mothering continues to grow — from new press features to our upcoming AR experience at the steps of the Art Basel Convention Center. With Giving Tuesday approaching on December 2nd, your support means everything as we honor mothers’ invisible contributions through art.
As Art Basel Week begins and my birthday approaches, I’m choosing gratitude, strength, and togetherness. Wishing everyone a meaningful week — especially all the artists and gallerists working tirelessly right now.

Sunday, November 23 — Miami
A whirlwind across Cali, Nevada, Give Miami Week, a surprise school switch, and a heart full of gratitude.
Conclusion? People make everything possible.
Life moves fast — but love, intention, and community keep us steady.
More soon… Basel is calling. 💛
What Mayci Neeley’s Book Reminded Me About Humanity, Womanhood, Motherhood, Courage, and Truth — and What Women Have in Common, Wherever They Come From
I finally finished Mayci Neeley’s book — one I had preordered months before it even came out. What began as a tough read, filled with pain and uncomfortable truths, slowly unfolded into something deeply meaningful.
Womanhood, Motherhood — in all its forms — is a universal language. No matter where we come from, we share the same fears, hopes, and strength to grow through life’s hardest moments.
Sunday Reflections: Breathing
Life has been a rollercoaster, but with every challenge comes a way to grow. This reflection is about faith, presence, and remembering that light — and peace — begin with us.
Milestones in the Midst of Chaos: A Sunday of Reflection and Perspective
Amid chaos, love and perspective lead the way — and this week, 3 milestones: my husband ran the Berlin Marathon and completed the 6 majors, an article was published and my work Keep on Dancing enters the Coral Gables Museum’s permanent collection.
Shana Tova Oumetouka Year 5786
As we step into 5786 — a reminder that even in dark times, we are not victims but creators of light. Like Sarah’s laughter and Isaac’s name, we carry the power to shift perspective, to act step by step, and to transform pain into hope. Teshuva is about who we choose to become, and miracles await when we open ourselves to them.
I quit ! ok ! keep calm and make chocolate !
Life has a way of repeating the same lesson until we finally slow down and listen. ✨
These past weeks reminded me: even in a world full of heaviness, we can’t let darkness steal our light. Let go of what’s non-essential, give yourself grace, and hold on to the joy that keeps us moving forward.
With love,
Jess 🌸
Between Sirens and Super Dad Cake
Being in Israel these past 11 days has stirred something deep in me. Between the sirens and the strength of the people by day and night, we are witnessing a reality that is both hard and inspiring. Family meals, Shabbat tables, birthday cakes, and homemade wine remind us that even under threat, life insists on beauty and connection. We hold onto each moment, grateful to be together, praying for peace, and doing our best to stay grounded—one step at a time
