Jennifer was born in Melbourne into an artistic family. This environment helped to foster her passion for all aspects of art especially painting. Jenny gained Honours in Art at secondary college where she was also Head Prefect. She then attended Pharmacy College whilst maintaining her interest in painting.
After marriage and four children Jenny decided on an active involvement in art focusing on oil and acrylic paintings. She joined the Hawthorn Artists' Society and since 2001 has been part of Nathan Paramanathan's Friday painting group.
Jenny has explored traditional and contemporary modes tending towards a unique style based on post impressionism that is distinctly modern and painterly. A number of her paintings have been sold in Canada, England and Australia.
