Jessica said, "You know, I often get people asking me where I got the word 'Amarantine' from. Amarantine comes from the Greek word αμάραντος or amarantos, translated to English. According to Greek mythology, Amarantos was a flower hidden by the gods. The person who finds it, will become immortal. Since then, the term has come to describe something that is unfading, or everlasting. This describes my work perfectly, as I create that which is captured and preserved perfectly as a keepsake. My work is timeless, ageless... Amarantine."
