After moving to Florida, she pursued art further, earning a degree in graphic design. Her career spanned shoe design, product development, and graphic design, but her passion for painting remained her constant drive. In 2002, she began painting for an art company, creating over a thousand original works mass-produced for major retailers like Neiman Marcus and Bed Bath & Beyond.While continuing her personal art practice and participating in art shows, Jen took a bold step toward becoming a fine artist. Inspired by Nelson Shanks’ work, she enrolled in Studio Incamminati in Philadelphia, founded by Shanks, where she completed their rigorous four-year program in classical Italian realism with distinction. Jen was awarded a teaching fellowship and became a core instructor at the school.In 2011, Jen returned to Florida, where she continues to create and teach. She is currently preparing for a solo exhibition while working on commissioned portraits. Jen works in various mediums, including painting, drawing, resin, and sculpture.
