The Dreamer

My Name is Jess and I’m the mind behind Dreaming of Flora. Am I a photographer? Am I a digital artist? Am I a creative dabbler with an esoteric leaning? Who knows? I did go to school, once upon a day for photography, so that’s probably what I’m most comfortable with. Just in case you feel the need to stick my head in a box and label it.

I started Dreaming of Flora as an Instagram gallery in August of 2022. A way to reconnect to the loss of femininity I felt when I learned I needed to have a hysterectomy. Flowers, dreams in the dark, and poetry became my outlet and my peace for the anxiety and depression that came with both my treatments and the wait for what I knew was coming.

I hope that perhaps you can find some comfort and peace in my creativity too. Maybe you’ll be inspired to find your own outlet if you need it. That would be nice.

Love and Appreciation to those who cross this page… darkly, of course.
