Influenced by a formal education in philosophy and literary critical theory, I work to examine both the literal and subconscious language that shapes us and the world in which we live.

Through dramatic use of movement, color, and scale I seek to unearth the exotic and mystical nature of ordinary subjects, and expose the language that defines them. My work reflects, on both a personal and human level, the effects of physical, environmental, and emotional trauma on this language.

While based in formal theory, there is a strong lyrical nature to the work. This is most easily identified in the narrative element that is pervasive in my most recent work but present in everything I’ve created.

Jenifer’s work has been included in many group shows including New Texas Talent 2008 at Craighead-Green Gallery in Dallas. She had her first solo show in 2006. Her pieces are part of collections both nationally and internationally. She lives in Dallas with her husband Todd and works full-time as a photographer and painter.
