Jennifer’s painting is influenced by her growing up in New York City, living in other cities, spending summers at the Jersey Shore and now her residing in Maplewood, NJ. Her interest in form, design, and color, with a love of light and line led Jennifer to paint. Her interest in these artistic elements provided a welcome contrast to her career in finance. Now, after nearly eight years of study, she is finding her voice by integrating those elements in representations and abstractions of structures, figures, and still-lifes. Portrayal of the environment, its inhabitants and their histories are thematic in her work.

Jennifer has lived in Maplewood, NJ for almost four years, 5 miles from her previous home of 10 years in Summit, NJ.
