Jes Wen’de (Waters) – Artist Bio
Jes is a 7th-generation artist whose creative journey is deeply shaped by her experiences of healing through the arts and spirituality. Her work is birthed from her unique process – a Sacred Triune of quieting, creating, and reflecting – which guides her interdisciplinary, mixed-media creations and musical compositions.
Jes’s current body of work explores the intersection of interdisciplinary mixed-media fine art with digital art and originally composed soundtracks, resulting in motion graphic fine art videos. Other work has exhibited her work throughout North America, including prominent venues like Canyon Road in Santa Fe, NM. Jes was selected as the 2024 Official Artist for the Kansas City Parade of Hearts, where she showcased her piece Confluence: Where All Paths Find Home. Her work has also been featured at the KC Fringe Festival, Mosaic Life Center's Healing Art Gallery, 80 Santa Fe, and Interurban Art House.
Over the past two decades, she has released more than 23 albums under various performing names, including Magnetic Wind, Wen'deya, Mesawzee, and Jes12Crows. Her compositions were featured in the film short, The Cabin, that premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and was released in France.
I realized in critics,
that we, as artists, have a creative responsibility
to share more fully about the works we create,
to communicate with the viewer a pathway of understanding
to what our true intention and purpose of the piece is.
For me, adding motion, sound and writing making my static work alive, and composing soundtracks, expanding the embodied and energetic experience, helps make my works come alive.

Artist Statement:
For me, whether it was singing, playing the piano, later the keys and composing, painting, working with fibers or collage, clay or photography, there was always very deep connection, beyond that actually, it was spiritual. It was, and still does, speak to my soul. There are segments of time when I am in creative flow that I have no idea consciously how my fingers and hands create what it does. It matters not if it’s music, writing or art making. It. Just. Flows. The key element is that I have to be in a state of meditation, vulnerable and open, allowing flow. Some of my deepest pains and greatest joys have been explored in my art and sound throughout the past 20 years. As I have gotten older I have intentionally dived into the world of the mystics, the Divina’s, contemplative and mindfulness practices and things that are slower, allowing myself to percolate and hear.
I work intuitively. I rarely have a plan. But when the wheels start turning and I’m in alignment, magical things happen. In sparks of image, sound that percolates up, visions of moving pictures, and the quiet, solid voice of spirit, I create these works as expressions and shared experiences to communicate with you things from the other side.
The expressive arts have been my salvation, my spiritual connection, my church, my healer, teacher and mirror. They have also reminded me that I am the vessel and as long as I remain open to the Creative forces of the Divine, all is well, Sacred and Holy.
Come walk with me a bit. Sit and listen. Maybe you’ll find something to connect with. If you do, I’d love to hear from you.
