About The Artist


Hi, I'm Jessica – owner and artist behind Desert Moon 25.

Nestled at the west end of the Morongo Basin in Twentynine Palms, CA, I’m a mother to one wild little boy, stepmom to two beautiful girls, and wife to my best friend who has supported me every step of the way.

My journey began with essential oils and a desire to create thoughtful, natural gifts. When I couldn’t find the products I envisioned, I started designing my own—and that’s when Desert Moon 25 was born. From jewelry and mixed media art to hand-poured candles and soap, I found joy in crafting pieces with purpose and heart.

In March 2020, I began sharing my creations on Etsy. As my business grew, so did my passion—especially for soapmaking. I loved experimenting with natural ingredients like clays, exfoliants, and botanicals, creating products that were gentle on the skin and free from harsh synthetics. What started as self-care for myself became a way to help others find comfort in natural products too.

In 2021, I opened my first studio space in the Historic Plaza of 29 Palms, welcoming the community in to paint, make soap, and create freely. Though that location eventually closed due to building safety, my vision never faded. I continued selling at the local farmers market and offering workshops; always holding on to the dream of building a new space to create and connect.

Today, I’m thrilled to share that dream has come to life. My new studio is a welcoming space for all ages—whether you're here to paint, sculpt, make soap, or just relax. It's a place to explore creatively without pressure, where community and imagination come together.

I’ve always been an artist at heart—through photography, clay, painting, and giving new life to old things. Thank you for supporting my journey, my art, and my handmade products. I continue to grow Desert Moon 25 with custom creations, self-care items, and laser-engraved keepsakes. The possibilities are endless when you create with an open heart.
