Jess DuBois fashions a studio in the lobby of Ramada Inn

He created an art studio in the lobby of a hotel, the Ramada Inn, due to a flood from a busted pipe which caused all of his work getting destroyed in his previous studio. This remains right down the street from the Rossonian Hotel where he would watch some of the jazz world's titans play. In this studio, he also created hundreds of more pieces of artwork as he has packed the room with many variations of work that he has completed. Some of his pieces included portraits of children and adults as a representation of his cherokee heritage, portraits of jazz musicians performing, and landscapes of the mountains.
