Jenifer came to painting later in life, as an escape from the stress and uncertainty of the pandemic, and quickly found her love for pastel painting, particularly in capturing the abstract essence of waves from around the world. “Making art and connecting it to people who find joy in it feels like something that's been waiting for me for a long time. There is nothing quite like an original piece of art that has somehow called to you to call it home, and each day that I paint, each piece I create, I imagine who it's meant for.” Jenifer moved to St Petersburg, FL from New York City in 2019, and after a long career of executive coaching for major corporations and non-profits around the world, she retired from that business to spend her days painting, encouraging others’ creativity, and traveling the world for more references for her work.
