Hello! My name is Jessica Klob (pronounced club<\/i>). I am a young self-taught artist and crafter from Pennsylvania, USA. I love to create art, make and design things, and work with my hands. I’ve enjoyed being creative from a young age.<\/p>

I am a traditional artist, preferring to work with physical materials\/mediums rather than digital. I consider myself to be somewhere in the intermediate stage of my art journey. My favorite style is realism.<\/p>

If you were to ask me who my favorite artist is, I would definitely say by far and above that my favorite artist ever is God. He is the original Artist, from whom all of us lesser artists do well to learn from. His works are the most breathtaking, awe-inspiring, beautiful works of art you can ever hope to see. The vast expanses of space, filled with galaxies and nebulae; the sky, with its ever-changing display and smooth gradients of color; the ocean with its deep blue waters and majestic waves; snow-clad mountains; winding rivers; lush green hills; sunlight filtering down through a forest canopy; violets; goldfinches; the iridescent gleam of a beetle\u2019s wing cover. Nature is the largest source of inspiration for me as an artist, and living in a semi-rural neighborhood in farm country, I am blessed to have beautiful sights outside the windows and plenty in the area.<\/p>

I also enjoy fiber crafts a lot, and I always have more than one project in progress. I first learned a little fiber crafts when I was pretty young, and when I was about 8 years old, my grandmother taught me some basics of knitting. Throughout my life I have learned some knitting, crocheting, sewing, and weaving. I love working with fiber (and it\u2019s also great for keeping my hands busy). There are so many things you can make!<\/p>

Art is difficult, but it is a wonderful profession. With patience, diligence, and plenty of God\u2019s grace, I\u2019ll get there. (And to aspiring artists: you can, too!)<\/p>

God be wi\u2019 ye!<\/p>

I first decided I wanted to have my own micro-business when I was around 12-13 years old, if my memory serves. In my teen years I made various plans for my business, and really started to work on it when I was 16-17. I purchased my website hosting on my 19th<\/sup> birthday. More work and learning followed, until I was able to officially launch 3:17 Arts in November of 2023.<\/p>

Before officially launching 3:17 Arts, I sold a total of 20 dishcloths to a few ladies from my church over several years, along with making numerous dishcloths for gifts and home. I also sold a couple of custom cards, and in the summer of 2023 completed a two-piece pet portrait commission\u2014my first one.<\/p>

The name of my business, 3:17 Arts, is based off of the Bible verse Colossians 3:17: \u201cAnd whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.\u201d (ESV)<\/p>

My business motto is:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
