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."
