Jennifer is an exhibiting artist living outside Nashville, Tennessee and makes artwork inspired by the elements of landscape that she encounters daily on her semi-rural property ~ such as the rapid growth of invasive plants, loss of honeybees, and climatology. She combines handwriting, plant life, and recycled bee keeping equipment to create mixed media artworks and installations that consider the fragility of nature as well as our place in it.

Over the past 25 years, Jennifer has dedicated herself to the spectrum of art related endeavors while continuing to work as a studio artist. After earning her BFA in Painting and Drawing from the University of Tennessee, she worked as an art restorer in Dallas, Texas. She received her MFA with honors in studio art with concentration in painting/drawing and sculpture from the University of North Texas. During her time in Dallas, Texas, she exhibited her work regionally and was a key member in 500X Gallery (one of Texas’ oldest, artist run, cooperative galleries). She had the unique opportunity to work as assistant curator of education the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth during the museums’ historic move from the original building to the world class Tadao Ando designed building in 2002.

She has been a member of Nashville’s Coop Gallery, a board member of Tristar Arts (Locate Arts) and teaches studio courses and art appreciation at both Belmont and Lipscomb universities.
