Jesse graduated from Northern Arizona University with a Master's Degree in Fine Arts in 1986, with a minor in Art History. His formal education was followed by 12 years experience working in all aspects of casting fine art bronze sculpture. He has worked closely with many world-renowned artists in the Sedona and Prescott area, all the while developing his own unique style and skill.

Jesse has entered many art shows and has won many awards. A very special award came as a commission to create a life-size bronze mountain lion for a major park in Prescott and the Prescott Public Library. The response from the public was, and continues to be extremely positive.

His art work graces many private collections in places like Sedona, Prescott, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tucson, Austin and Houston Texas.
As a fifth generation native Arizonan, Jesse has a rich history in the state. He grew up on the Navajo-Hopi reservation. His parents were schoolteachers, and his grandfather was "Nevada Steve" - a missionary to the Native Americans.
Jesse is a fine Christian young man. My hopes that he will be able to help me some this next summer at our "Cowboy Camps" by teaching the young cowboys and cowgirls to do some Cowboy/Western Clay Sculpturing. Oh! that will be great!
Jesse attends the "Finished Work Fellowship" of Prescott, Arizona and I want to tell you about his pastor, Lee Griffith and recommend his books to you. Pastor Griffith is a skilled Bible expositor and author and is careful to teach the "Word of God rightly divided."
