Meet Jennifer

Hi, I’m Jen. I’m a colorful (li’l bit cra-cra) , So Cal Artist, Expressive Arts Coach and Educator. Through my creations, classes and workshops I strive to provide opportunities for personal development, honest expression and just plan joy.

I’ve been making art, both hangable and wearable, since I can remember. Over the years I’ve painted everything from ceilings to guitar picks to my now favorite boots. I used to tease my kids that if they sat still long enough, they’d be covered in paint too…truth!

I fell in LOve with expressive painting back in 2014 when I took an online painting course. Once I put the brush to canvas, I couldn’t stop! Painting is like a portal to endless possibilities. I feel alive and free when I’m slinging paint in my studio! People are my favorite subjects. I feel deeply connected to humanity when I’m pursuing the essence of another human being in a piece; it's often a spiritual experience for me.

My art tends to pack a punch. People often refer to my style as abstract expressionism or impressionistic; it feels raw to me and definitely on the wild side with respect to my chosen palettes. I draw inspiration for my work from the people, places, music, majesty and madness in this life that moves me.

My strong belief in the healing and wellness benefits of the arts led me to pursue training as an Expressive Arts Therapy Coach in 2019. It makes my heart happy to help others experience freedom, connection, wellness and joy through the arts.
