Biography
Originally from the UK Jennifer is an Australian artist, designer and illustrator based in Brisbane, Queensland. Her unique digital mixed media works are beautiful, dreamy and full of detail. Created using a combination of traditional art techniques, photography and computer technology, they often incorporate found objects and recycled materials. Jennifer's work seeks to emphasise the pattern and beauty found in everyday things. Each piece is captivating in its own right as a landscape or a still life, hidden in the detail is another story. Layers and layers of found objects and things we often discard take on a new life and combine to create something beautiful.
Jennifer has been creating artwork for over 20 years, holds a degree in fine art and is constantly undertaking new studies to further her artistic skills. During four years spent in New Zealand she ran her own gallery in the picturesque Wellington suburb of Island Bay. Moving from there to be based in London to travel while online art spaces still made her work accessible to buyers all over the globe. Today she works an independent artist from her sunny studio with her creative team to assist - a baby, a beagle and a bullmastiff.
