Jennifer comes from a family of artists and sees being an artist as intrinsic to her identity and vocation. She completed a Bachelor of Fine Art at Griffith University and undertook prior studies in education and advertising. 

Jennifer began exhibiting her artwork in 2003 and has nurtured her creative practice to varying degrees due to her health. Her disability has impacted the shape, scale and nature of materials used in her practice. This experience can at times, make the creative process complicated for her.  

Jennifer identifies as a mixed media artist and is currently working towards refining and articulating her artistic style. She recognises the impact of her emotions and cognition on the clarity of her artistic voice.  

Jennifer has always had an interest and appreciation for outsider art and now finds it curious that she identifies as an artist creating outsider art in a community of outsider artists.’  She joined the Access Arts Brisbane Outsider Artist workshop program approximately six months ago, after moving from Northern NSW.
