Jessica Levine is a sculptor and metal fabricator from South Lake Tahoe, CA. She attended UC Santa Cruz where she studied fine art and sociology, and ultimately found her love for welding. Jessica creates work that explores ideas of reality and the internal worlds of humans versus their external shared realities. Jessica creates large elaborate works that offer reflections on complex emotions and what it means to be human. She uses steel to “draw” in physical space, hand forming and welding each piece of steel to match the images within her mind. Jessica has built four large scale sculptures for Burning Man, with the last one including an interactive fire mechanism. A love of big art has led her into a magical world of creation and collaboration. Jessica has exhibited her works at festivals internationally, and completed many private large-scale commissions, with some of her works being presented on temporary public display. She is a licensed welding contractor and owner of Bear Metal Welding in South Lake Tahoe, CA. LIC# 1077544
