Jessica Ramsey Art and Murals
I paint murals and make art
I am from Knoxville! I grew up here! I have a Bachelor degree in fine art from the University of Tennessee. After school I moved to Nashville and did faux finishing for a couple years. Moved home 11 years ago to be with my high school sweetheart and started doing murals on my own. We have three daughters now who also love to paint! I’ve done multiple murals in our Bearden area, surrounding counties and Charleston, SC. I love painting things bigger than life! I also paint and draw. My art is available at the Village Exchange on Bearden Hill. I also do commission pieces mostly. Coming soon you can check me out on HGTV’s new show Breaking Bland this spring.

Fork Design
Building design fabricator architect
Forrest Kirkpatrick is the design principal at Fork Design. Why Fork Design? He just removed the extra letters from his name--they weren't unnecessary, just extra. The studio works in the same way: there are lots of choices out there. To create the most value in a project, we cut out the extras and deliver the parts that will give your project the most value. Design is not as much premium as it is choice.
