I've embellished 3 of each print with the mantra ‘Strength, Honor [lead by] Love.’ These three words are my driving force in 2020!
"Thinking Out Loud" - Let’s keep writing our stories of home, work, the environment through clear, honest childlike eyes. These eyes—always alert, bolstering strength, revitalizing my being.
"Girl in Trees" - New self, reinvented? Slightly faded, reeking of what's been done and re-done. Reaching for this new thought; like wings to water. Or the other, which can only be found in ourselves or another.
"Give and Take But LOVE Remains" - Nonstop -- almost together -- a promise to never leave, to stay together forever. A love of one's heritage from friends, family, and lovers who come and go.

Jennifer’s use of color and creative texture lend harmoniously from the natural world and her heritage of both Eastern and Western influences.
