Artist Bio
Jennifer has spent her whole life involved in the arts.
Having a professional artist as a father, family and social life revolved around the arts, family houses in Eltham and West Coast Victoria where there was a constant throng of creative people coming, going in between social gatherings and attending art galleries.
The atmosphere was fueled with the people, the arts and politics.
Jennifer commenced life drawing at fifteen, a discipline which is continued to this day.
It was only natural for Jennifer to proceed to art school.
Jennifer’s first exhibition was at nineteen.
Jennifer also studied stained glass and art in Indonesia.
Jennifer has travelled extensively, painting in Italy and Indonesia.
