Jennifer was born in Newport Beach, CA, but was raised in Woods Cross, UT. She resided in Woods Cross for 23 before moving to Salt Lake City, UT where she lived for 10 years. In 2006, Jennifer and her husband purchased her childhood home in Woods Cross where they currently reside with their two sons.
A water media artist, Jennifer paints in a representational style. She prefers traditional watercolor on cold press paper and generally paints compositions with a strong central focus using both wet-in-wet and dry-brush techniques. She is inspired by nature, landscape, architecture, and beauty in all things and she tries to translate her inspiration using bright, rich colors in her compositions. Jennifer completed a Teaching Minor in Fine Art at Westminster College of Salt Lake City in 1996 and she attends art workshops as time permits to continue furthering her education and expanding her creativity.
Even though much happiness in life is derived from creating her art, Jennifer’s greatest joy lies in spending time with her family. Her husband is also her biggest fan and supporter in her art career. She contributes a percentage of her annual art sales to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research in support of her loving husband, who was diagnosed with Early Onset Parkinson’s Disease in December 2006 at the age of 44. Each day she is inspired by his sweet spirit and unending support of her pursuits and dreams, by his patience with their two young children, and by his quiet determination to enjoy life despite the daily challenges he may encounter. Jennifer hopes her feelings of inspiration and joy translate to each new painting she creates, evoking similar reactions in her viewers and collectors.
