Hello, I’m Jennifer. Welcome to my world of whimsey, where joyful colors collide with fun and fur. I’m so glad you’re here. As I’m sure you’ve already noticed, I love bold bright colors and animals, who insist on inhabiting the starring roles in most of my paintings.
In a time of extreme divides, my work strives to celebrate the beauty and joy found in each person’s uniqueness and the many things we share in common. I’m inspired by the people and especially the critters who enhance our lives. I hope my work creates joy, makes you smile and even laugh out loud.
I’ve explored creativity throughout my life in a variety of forms and fashions, always seeking to learn and grow. After a career in law enforcement of more than 30 years, I’m spending my time getting down, dirty and very colorful playing in paint and mixed media formats. I’ve studied with many amazing artists over the years, including Sandy Ceas, Ardith Goodwin, and Jo Fitzell. The Art Student’s League of Denver has been instrumental in my art journey. Also, special thanks to Stephanie Gagos, Kara Bullock and my family for their inspiration and encouragement.
I share my home in Denver, Colorado, with my furry critters, Albus Dumbledog and Scarlett O’ Hairy.
