"The work of the “Old Masters” has always mesmerized me. I spent hours as a little girl at the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, and later at the Louvre in Paris studying the works of Rembrandt, Chardin and Ingres. Living and working in Western Europe allowed me to observe the beauty, movement of light, and ..."
"Everyday brings another opportunity to explore and create. I love hyperrealism and continue to expand my skills. I feel a strong connection with my works of art, and am involved from the first seed of conception, going from a fleeting thought to a well orchestrated developmental process.

Animals of all shapes and sizes have always been my passion and each piece begins with a deep admiration of the unique beauty and character of the creature I am painting. ..."
"I am a textile artist who creates art works with fabric and thread by means of using a sewing machine as my ‘paint brush’.
In each of my art works, the small pieces of fabric represent the seasons of our lives, with brightness, color, and texture woven into all of these moments, blended together into one tapestry. ..."
"Jennifer's work is far from ordinary. Her unique way of using a brush and knife are revealed in the brushstrokes of each piece. What she tries to accomplish in each piece is to define its unique "feeling" with the setting. ..."
