“The more clearly we can see ourselves, the less suffering is needed on the path of wholeness”

-JESSENIA NAUTA

Artist, Author, and Active Human

Hey there! I’m a Trans Artist sharing ways of reclaiming a sense of self in a world that feels like that very concept is very taboo. My art and books explore ways of coming back into Indigenous Feminine Wisdom, that connects to the sense of self more through a somatic relationship to the body, rather than a conditioned sense of who, what, and where anyone needs to “be” to continue “surviving.”

All of the art is offered in different ways — wearables, Embodied Art Journals, and prints you can bring home. Each piece is an exploration of regaining a sense of self through somatics, within the feminine (the ability to feel), and indigenous ways of reconnecting with the earth as a living being. Through that, regaining a sense of self that is natural. Even a Ritual.

Each piece is an offering to the earth in this way, and to that piece of earth that lives within you. Exploring concepts of regaining a sense of joy through color and thick lines, all the way to depictions of generational trauma, as well as excavating ancient ancestral symbolism.

I’m also known as a Senior VFX Nuke Compositor for Films, Episodic’s, and Commercials (Reel available here).

  • ★★★★★ Heartfelt and Healing

    There is something deeply healing about being reminded that creativity doesn't begin in the mind.

    It begins in relationship. Relationship with sensation, with curiosity, with breath, and with the quiet places within ourselves that have been waiting to be met. This is what I love about Permission to Feel. It doesn't ask you to become more creative. It gently helps you remember that the creative impulse has always been there. Through simple, body-led practices,

    Jessenia offers a spacious and compassionate way of reconnecting with the Inner Artist that so many of us learned to hide. As a somatic therapist, I appreciate the care with which this book invites people away from performance and toward presence.

    There is no pressure to create something beautiful. Instead, there is an invitation to listen, to play, and to discover what wants to emerge when the body feels safe enough to express itself. I can imagine this becoming a meaningful companion for anyone longing to reconnect with the healing powers of creativity, especially those who have spent years believing they were "not artistic.

  • ★★★★★ LOVE LOVE LOVE ! ! !

    A beautiful invitation to come home to yourself.

    Permission to Feel is so much more than a coloring book — it is a journey into creativity, embodiment, and self-connection. Through breath, body awareness, color, and guided practices, this book creates a gentle space to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with the Inner Artist within.

    I love how it removes the pressure to create something “perfect” and instead invites curiosity, presence, and authentic expression. It reminds us that creativity is not something we have to earn or prove — it is already within us, waiting to be welcomed home.

    Permission to Feel offers a beautiful pathway back to your own aliveness.

    A heartfelt, inspiring, and nourishing experience.

    This is not just a book you read — it is a practice you feel ❤️
