About the Artist

Jennifer currently lives in Nashville, TN. She grew up with two parents who were both artists, and they exposed her to a wonderful world of creativity.  

 Jennifer is naturally drawn to portraiture because she loves the uniqueness and spirit of people and animals. She has worked as a portrait artist by commission for many years. However, it has been fun for her to expand into abstract expressionism because she finds it interesting and uplifting. Most importantly, Jennifer works intuitively from the heart. That is why she doesn't have any specific style or genre. She works across mediums and combines mediums as inspiration guides her. She always embeds a message of love, peace or a prayer within her work. Sometimes it is obvious but other times it is not and the message is a part of the underpainting. Science is showing that our words have energy and so it is her desire to create art that radiates a positive energy.

Jennifer studied studio art at SMU, Meadows School of the Arts in Dallas, TX and received a Masters in Community Planning from the School of Architecture at Auburn University, Auburn, AL. In addition, she graduated from the American Arts Course at Sotheby’s Institute, New York, NY. Soon after graduating, she worked for Sotheby's Auction House and then for a premier American Art dealer in New York, NY gaining invaluable knowledge of the international art world.

Not surprisingly, she finds inspiration from the world around her but her most favorite artists and ones who have much influence on her work are American. They include Maurice Prendergast, John Singer Sargent, Georgia O'Keeffe, Mark Rothko and Larry Rivers.
