introduction

Let me introduce myself; my name is Jen.  I have been weaving fine art sculptures for over 21 plus years.  During that time, I have displayed in many galleries as well as fine art juried shows.  I have won several awards and I have taught the skill of weaving baskets and pods in many local colleges and private instruction.  I currently work for an advertising agency during the day.  The evening and weekends are for fine ART.  It consumes my day to day thoughts in every aspect.  I live in a wonderful house with Brad, the love of my life, and two beautiful little girls, Shannon and Kayla.  Our family life is filled with art projects and creation.  The kids love it.  I love it.  Best part of all, I have taught the girls to truly appreciate all that nature has to offer.  To analyze earths natural forms and expand on its beauty.  Not break or change nature’s forms, but to build off of what has already been.  Some days, I take the girls on walks to collect.  We have boxes and jars of everything found and we sculpt.  We don’t buy kit crafts for kids (almost never).  We make everything ourselves from the ground up.  It gives them a sense of what true art is about and I am in heaven for it.  I couldn’t be prouder of them and how talented they are.

I decided to continue updating my works on this blog.  It’s a project I started many years ago and feel it is time to post again. So here it goes, let me blog some past and move onto the present/future.  Works are soon to follow.
