🌤️🌊 UNEXPECTED MOMENTS - Jessie Channey's "The Space Between" will be on display at the Malibu City Gallery through Friday, October 23.

With a refined eye for atmosphere, light, and emotional residue, her work explores the quiet poetry of place — abandoned spaces, traces of lives once lived, and the unseen narratives that linger just beneath the surface.

Drawn to the beauty of overlooked details and the intimacy of unexpected moments, Jessie approaches photography as both witness and artist. Her images search for tenderness, mystery, and human presence in the everyday, revealing the subtle magic that often goes unnoticed.
