The Artist & The Awakening

Ahri Artistry is more than a business—it’s the embodiment of a healing journey, a creative calling, and a celebration of personal transformation. Every piece I create carries energy, emotion, and intention. It’s a reflection of where I’ve been, who I’ve become, and the people and moments that helped shape this dream into reality.

I'm Jessica—the founder, artist, and visionary behind Ahri Artistry. This is my story.

P.S. Be Warned: This is the short version.... bahahahahahaha :)

Heyyoo, Jess here!

I’m Jess—artist, founder, and soul alchemist behind Ahri Artistry. My journey as a creator is deeply spiritual, emotionally charged, and rooted in transformation. Art became my lifeline through the hard times—and my celebration through the good. It’s how I process, how I connect, and how I leave a little light everywhere I go.

Every piece I create is more than a product—it’s a moment, a memory, a spark. My best work has always come from shared experiences—from the energy exchanged in deep conversations, wild adventures, and soul-aligned connections. Those moments inspire me, and through my art, I pass that magic on.

I believe we all have something powerful and beautiful within us, just waiting to be seen. My mission is to help people tap into that—to feel safe expressing themselves, to see their worth, to shine. Whether it’s through color, movement, or a wild hair charm that says "this is me", I want you to feel seen, celebrated, and empowered.

Brianna—my best friend and co-creator—brings structure, strategy, and endless support. She helps translate vision into reality and keeps the vibes grounded and glowing. Together, we’ve created more than a brand. We’ve created a space for expression, connection, and soul-level joy.

And we’re just getting started.

Once upon a time...

I was living in Denver with my boyfriend of nine years, stuck in a life that didn’t feel like mine anymore. Then COVID hit—and the world paused.

My Mom bought me a ticket to visit them in Texas, and something in me knew I wasn’t going back. I ended the relationship, put my stuff in storage & drove my pup down to TX that next week.
Trying to figure out how to entertain us, I was noodling around online when I saw a pour painting kit... and I thought, ooo messy painting, that sounds right up my alley. My Mom, Dad, and I did our first pours together —and my soul caught fire. The colors, the chaos, the emotion... something inside me cracked open (besides the few bottles of wine we drank that night).
I turned their entryway into a paint studio...then I just began to explore & experiment. After I started stocking up on paintings, I needed to figure out what the hell to do with them all (besides cover my Mom's walls).

Thus began Ahri Artistry...

Rebirth in Wubz...

In 2021, I discovered EDM—and holy sh*t... I had been missing out on life. I was still in TX, planning my move back to CO when Red Rocks dropped their concert calendar & Big Wild was playing on my birthday. I knew - this was the year everything would change.
I moved back to Colorado with a new fire. That year became a full-send journey of self-exploration. I went to concerts nonstop. I danced under lasers & moonlight. I screamed, cried, laughed, and let the bass break open the parts of me I’d kept buried. I embraced the weird. I gave the inner beast permission to be free.
My first festival—Dancefestopia—with my soul sister Ronnie cracked my world wide open. I wasn’t just vibing. I was healing. Awakening. Finally learning to love myself in all my messy, magical glory.
That energy pulsed through my art. My paintings became alive with sound, spirit, and story. Every creation since then has carried that frequency: transformation.

*Me full send, unashamed the last night of Dancefest*

Built on Friendship...

When I moved back to Colorado, the universe aligned—Bri moved here too, taking her first big leap, moving out of state by herself. It was a season of growth, hard conversations, and deepening trust. We’ve been through it all together. She's not just my best friend—she's my rock. I’m hers.
Bri doesn’t share the same creative chaos that flows through me, but she’s been my anchor and my mirror. She’s the one who hypes me up when I doubt myself, grounds me when I spiral, and calls me out when I need it. Every big moment in this journey—she’s been there. Quiet strength. Relentless support. Ride-or-die energy.
Ahri Artistry wouldn’t exist without her. Period.

Thank you & galaxies full of love to you Bri!

Vision Activated...

It all came together for me during LSDREAM’s 2024 Lightcode set at Red Rocks, something inside me clicked. The music, the environment, the energy—it all aligned... I heard the universe loud and clear:

“This is it. This is your purpose.”
I didn’t just want to create art. I wanted to build a movement. A business rooted in helping people elevate their experiences and craft unforgettable memories... through creativity, self-discovery, and kindness.
Soon after, I did my very first booth thanks to Mandi at The Moxi Poppy—a mentor & inspiration who gave me space on the sidewalk outside her Morrison shop. That simple opportunity sparked a wildfire in my soul.
Two booths in, I saw something beautiful: people of all ages, backgrounds, and vibes connecting with my art. I watched strangers light up, relate, and feel seen. This summer has become my field lab—real-time market research and heart-centered exploration.
This isn’t about selling things. It’s about creating welcoming spaces.. moments that uplift, awaken, and inspire.

And this... is just the beginning.
