She began her career painting a mural of movie star portraits during her high school years in Michigan. That's where she caught the excitement and satisfaction of being a artist that would carry her through to today. Out of college she landed a position as Art Director and private label fabric designer for Diane Von Furstenburg. She has been the recipient of numerous awards and publications.
Jennifer portrays nature with a vitality that is fresh with color and timeless in content. Her work evokes life's simple moments. She finds inspiration for her work from little gardens and sanctuaries to the apple orchard community of Oak Glen, CA where most of her compelling stories occur. Over the years, Jennifer has created a name for herself in the portraiture, equine and floral genres. Her ceramic sculptures as well are being sought after. She has been an integral part in developing Wildland Images Gallery and Publishing. A company, created by her husband, publishing, showcasing and distributing their art throughout the United States. In 2010, they celebrate their Gallery's 14th Anniversary on the Historic Parrish Pioneer Ranch in Oak Glen.
