Parrish, Jess

Bio

Colorado, USA

Jess has been carving ice for six years and competed in th National Ice Carving Association (NICA) competitions circuit for the last five years.

Jess started carving when he was a child suffering Mononucleosis.  With a sharp pocket knife and training from a neighbor, he began creating wooden art.  One day he saw an ice sculpture at a party that lacked beauty and he thought "I could do better than that."  From that inspiration and a lot of hard work, Jess now owns his own business, "Cool Hands Ice Carving" in Longmont, Colorado.  

When he's not carving ice, Jess enjoys sculpting in stone and paints.
