Jacy (JC) is an artist within the Appalachian Mountains of East Tennessee. Her practice lives between the physical and digital, and incorporates the textures of her mountain upbringing while engaging with emerging technologies. Through mediums such as projection, sculpture, archival imagery, and digital environments, she builds spatial and speculative narratives.

Central to her practice is a research-based framework she is building called Appalachian Sci-Fi. This ever-evolving concept reframes Appalachian identity through speculative storytelling, digital materiality, and lived-in experience.

In addition to her personal practice, Jacy is a 3D & VFX artist with Cortina Productions, a media design studio near Washington, D.C., where she helps create immersive experiences for museums. She is also an Assistant Professor of Digital Media at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, Tennessee, teaching in both the undergraduate and MFA program.
