About
Always a creative child, Jenn had not entertained her artistic side until she was almost thirty years old. Starting with pencil, her portraits became more and more realistic looking, and friends and family encouraged her to develop this renewed love affair she had with making drawings come to life. She took a beginners art class at Grant MacEwan, followed by a month of oil paint lessons at Pro's Art. She is otherwise self-taught through trial and error. She continued to put in 10,000 more practice hours at her home studio. Since she began her art journey, Jenn has had many fascinating life experiences that come when pursuing your passions and following your dreams.
She believes in the healing power of love, music, laughter, and gratitude. She is an ambassador for kindness, equality, and fairness. Jenn is inspired by the human connection, pop-culture; the wild, the clever, the hilarious, and the majestic moments of life.
Born in Ottawa Ontario, Canada, and raised in Edmonton, Alberta, where she still resides. When she's not painting, or teaching art classes, she is spending time with friends and family, going to concerts and looking for ways to make the world better.
