"I enjoy painting on many different surfaces, utilizing drawing mediums to work over under paintings. I feel one’s expression should not be limited to a single media. My work is a lot like life, my days are not really planned and scheduled, and I find this is true in my paintings… Sometimes I realize that what I really wanted was not what I started out to do. The facts become apparent as the work matures. Many of my works have under paintings with much more information that than the final pieces. Under the paint is the mystery, the story. Under the finished work is hours of digging and exploring. Every piece I do is a journey, and when it is over what you see is a compilation of the journey, or journal of the trip. Many trips have memories lost. My work is the same; lost memories are painted over- but in an odd way they are still there under the final paint."

 She is an animal-lover. An interpreter. A philosopher. A traveler.

 She experiences the rawness of nature, the strength of emotion and the
delight in new discovery.
 And not only does she share in these things with her dogs, who she
routinely walks with every morning, she paints these things, so as to
share them with those who enjoy her work. She makes these things
tangible through paint, canvas, mixed media and most importantly,
animalistic inspiration. And ultimately, her goal is to translate a
daily journey into an expression of memories, emotion and experience.

 Jennifer's work is representational and expressionistic. With clean,
vibrant colors and a combination of mediums, she not only conveys a
personal, daily routine. She suggests a state of mind.
 

Originally from California, Jennifer pursued her artistic training at Winthrop university, and has continued her education with Springmaid Watermedia Workshops in Myrtle Beach, SC. She has also worked on numerous art related projects throughout the state. Art has been a life long passion for Jennifer, and she maintains over twenty years of professional experience as a painter.
