About Jessy Trujillo
Jessy is a Cuban American who came to the United States at the age of seven. He was one of the many children legally seeking refuge in the United States from Castro's communist regime. He flew to his new adopted home in Miami through a program whereby over 14,000 school-aged Cuban children, whose parents feared the Marxist indoctrination occurring in the new Cuban State schools - were given sanctuary in the US. This became known as "Operation Petter Pan.")
After living in South Florida for over ... years, Jessy fell in love with North Carolina through frequent hunting trips there, and eventually bought a cabin in 2009 in the small blue-ridge mountain town of Piney Creek. In 2020, after retiring from a very successful company, he and his wife Maria made Piney Creek their permanent home. It was here he once again dedicated his time and talents to his first love, painting.
