Jennifer has been painting in oils since she was
a child. Her love for the process lead her to the
University of Alabama at Birmingham’s painting
department and then to achieve a Bachelors
of Fine Arts at Virginia Commonwealth University.
She has won several awards including a
scholarship from the graduate department at
Pratt University.
“I am both a representative and a cynic of the
tumultuous culture that surrounds my generation.
As a realistic-figurative artist I integrate these
roles into my paintings by introducing a modern
satirical dialogue, with art-historical references.
Although I have always found expression
through the figure to be a uniquely literal
experience, the human form has also presented
me a great challenge. I must attempt to use
the oldest and most potentially hackneyed
image of artistic expression and make it new
and personal – reinvent the reinvented. My
paintings are psychological, sensuous, self
aware, and insecure. They are the
documentation of my growth as a technical
artisan as well as a student and self-conscious
human being”.
