Artist Biography

Born in Madison, Wisconsin in 1982, Jennifer’s ability to focus and work on her drawings at an early age was noticed by all. The intensity and desire to study art only grew over the years. Her mentor, Henry Stinson, instructed Jennifer in the traditional Russian-Impressionistic style beginning in her early teens.
