Born in Madison, Wisconsin, Jennifer's ability to focus and work on her drawings at an early age was noticed by all. Her intensity and desire to study art only grew over the years. Jennifer's parents, being artists themselves, shared their knowledge and philosophy with her at a young age. In her early teens, they sent her to study Russian Impressionism with Henry Stinson, her mentor.

Jennifer currently works as a full time painter in Oregon where she is a mentor to a number of young students. She travels monthly for shows, classes, and plein air painting. Still a young woman, she has already received numerous awards, been featured in many publications, and has paintings in many private and public collections both here in the USA and abroad.

In her spare time Jennifer enjoys rock climbing, hiking, camping and anything to do with the outdoors. She spends a lot of time reading the classics and playing the piano. Jennifer has always loved to travel and one day hopes to have seen the world.
