Artist Bio

Jennifer's artistic journey began amid the vibrant landscapes of New Brunswick, Canada, where the natural environment first sparked her creative vision. In 2005, she relocated to Fort McMurray, Alberta, earning a Visual Art Diploma from Keyano College before pursuing her passion for printmaking in the mountain town of Canmore. There, she completed her BFA in Printmaking from the Alberta College of Art + Design in 2015.

Her work maintains an active presence on both national and international stages through print calls, exhibitions, and artistic exchanges. Jenn maintains a studio in Canmore that fosters collaboration and creative innovation. Beyond her personal practice, she remains committed to arts education, teaching printmaking at a local community art centre and mentoring emerging artists while also working as a gallery assistant.

Artist Statement

Lately, my work has been all about the interplay between colour and shape. I'm obsessed with the creative process—I could spend hours in the studio just experimenting, chasing that perfect composition that grabs my attention and won't let go.

Finding the right colour feels like solving a puzzle. Sometimes it's layering teal over and over, adding a bit more white, then second-guessing myself—"Wait, maybe it needs more blue!"—only to realize, "Nope, it's gotta be greener!" It's this unpredictable journey that keeps me hooked.

Each piece becomes this conversation between what I plan and what actually happens. I get to play with how colours and shapes push against each other, creating these moments of tension and harmony that surprise even me. The process is just as important as the final piece—maybe more so.
