Jen is a self-taught artist who began painting in 2003 with encouragement from a family friend who commissioned her for "Seasons of The Wolf". Previous to her painting endeavors she worked mainly in pen, ink & colored pencil. Jen will still break out the pen occasionally, mostly to create tattoo designs for friends.  In her paintings she works with the acrylic medium because of the bright colors and versatility that it offers.  Animals are usually her subject matter of choice, but she has been adding human figures to her pieces as of late.  Jen enjoys creating custom work for people, especially if it is something she has never attempted before. "I love the challenge of coming up with an image that is unique to the person involved."

Though originally from the central coast of CA, Jen lived in the Fort Collins Colorado area for over 14 years. While in Colorado she met and married her husband Scott and together they have one fuzzy dog child named "Marshal". She also played bass in a band called, "Spazz Kat" and designed the album cover for “Hairball”. In June of 2007, Jen and family moved back to San Luis Obispo, CA. "I am very grateful for all the support I have received from my family and friends as I continue to cultivate my career as an artist."
