Jessica Matier attended Parsons School of Design. In 2016, she departed from watercolor and collage practices to pursue a mixed-media approach to abstract painting. A combination of psychology, various religions, and her spiritual practices inform her work. The act of creation is a gateway into her understanding of space, time, and consciousness. Her work has been in group exhibitions in New York City, New Jersey, Chicago, FSU Museum of the Arts, and The Other Art Fair, Brooklyn. In 2019, Rutgers University acquired the painting Natural Things, which is on display at the Camden Center of the Arts. Matier was born in South Korea in 1985. At three months old, she was adopted and raised in New Jersey. In 2022, she relocated to Kansas City, MO, where she continues to work.
