CV/Bio
Jennifer started drawing cartoon characters of people, horses, dogs and cats when she was in grade school in order to entertain her friends. Her mother recognized her talent and sent her a couple of summers to an art school in Huntsville Alabama, learning perspective drawing. She quit drawing in 1987 after several conflicts with Art teachers, and graduated with a Marketing Degree, but after a long sabbatical from holding a pencil for serious drawing, she picked it up again in 2001. Her love for animals and people has developed into an art expression where she concentrates on exposing their souls through their expressive eyes. Aspiring to be a contemporary master of portrait painting, Jennifer went to New York in 2010 to study with Daniel Greene. She learned how to mix colors and apply tonal values as Daniel Greene teaches. Still desiring more from her work she has been a student of Igor Babailov and Casey Baugh. The struggle for perfection drives her to be a constant learner of the face and features of all creatures.
Jennifer took two years of acrylic lessons from Barbara Miller in Huntsville, Alabama in 2001-2002. She has been under the direction of Monique Givens 2005 for a season. She also has studied in casting sculpture with Everett Cox, cold and hot metal working with Connie Ulrich, and continues educating herself through self-study.
Jennifer has won several awards for pencil and acrylic paintings in Alabama, Tennessee, and Oklahoma. Her artwork hangs worldwide, Germany, Amsterdam, across the United States.
Jennifer is a full time artist and loves to spend some of her time inspiring others by teaching them to see the world differently, and create their own unique style of art. She contributes her success and talent to God and is grateful for the ability to see things beyond the surface.
