Discovering & Recovering the Salish Sea.
I plan to schedule monthly studio showings, setting appointments an hour apart for local folks on Duwamish Territory to safely check out all my goodies.
I have been an empath for as long as I can remember. My emotional perceptivity is entwined with all forms of life, from animals to people to plants. Moving through the world as a sensitive, two-spirit individual, I constantly strive to restore, reclaim, and protect my ancestral medicine while also honoring plant allies from other lands. I believe that there is grounding energy and comfort in knowing more about plants and the language we share with one another. I hope to help others break destructive cycles and form healthier patterns with ourselves and with nature. I firmly believe that anything we put ON our bodies should be as safe and natural as anything we would put IN our bodies.
I work to restore the lands and uplift indigenous medicine. I support BIPOC whenever possible when purchasing any plant medicine that I do not grow myself yet. If you know of any resources, please share them with me. I'm coming up with a dashboard of all the plants I can offer for other makers and would love to share what other POC are growing!
When trying new products, please start in small portions and follow the directions carefully. Although my products are all-natural, certain plants can very occasionally trigger sensitivities or allergic reactions. Get to know them slowly and perform a patch test first on a small area to make sure the mixture is compatible with your skin.
I feel called to offer specialized and custom medicinals, as well as custom commissions for pottery and ceramics. Reach out if interested!
For more information on stories of the plants, myself, my medicine garden, and other creative endeavors, please join me on my socials at Singing Pots, or at my website JessReneCreative.com.

I proudly identify as an "Indigenous Designer" and have a background in Interior Design and Architecture. Unfortunately, I faced an unjust encounter with the police in Escondido, CA, which led to me not being able to complete my studies due to being given a felony alongside my friend at the beginning of their gender transition.
My passion lies in transforming the way we design spaces to ensure inclusive access for the BIPGM and LGBTQIATS community. I am committed to dismantling colonized and shame-based systems, fostering change in our communities, and promoting a spirit-led approach to design.
Desiring to complete my Architecture degree through scholarships, I strive to contribute to sustainable efforts, focusing on community wellness centers, equity, justice, liberation, Medicine Back, and Land Back initiatives.
I firmly stand against claiming to produce "Native American Art" as my people have been deeply affected by border crossings, impacting the lands we now know as Mexico and Canada. Our tribes have navigated back and forth, from Mexico to Texas and Quebec to New York for generations, with borders greatly shaping the lives of our communities. Despite not being federally recognized, I am determined to reclaim and honor my culture. Embracing every facet of my lifestyle as indigenous, I am actively engaged in various traditional practices, including danza, drumming, singing, and cultivating medicinal plants. My ultimate aspiration is to delve deeper into learning indigenous languages and songs.
At Heartfulrootz.org, I am collaboratively working on impactful projects, including "Plant Family," aiming to make a meaningful difference. I wholeheartedly welcome anyone to share information with me as we journey together. ♡
