BIO:
Jennifer was born on the north shore of Long Island, N.Y., to a large, colorful and dynamic family. She found art young, beginning to draw at the age of 3 with more passion than most and has had a life long interest in oil, charcoal, acrylic and collage ever since. Acting and writing grabbed her attention in high school and music and directing in college. With several scholarships to fine art programs and invitations to study at performing art conservatories, including Tisch School of the Arts where she attended college on a full acting scholarship, Jennifer rooted herself in firm techniques and discipline and a broad base of artistic and cultural knowledge that has laid a strong foundation from which to spring into experimentation, exploration and creation. She toured Europe with Leonard Bernstein and Fredericka Von Stade in high school and explored Paris on her own in her early twenties, staying in convents or wherever she could afford in order to take in the language, the cafe's, the bridges and rivers and, of course, the art. New York City became her consistent artistic laboratory, providing east village hot spots for her music, as well as Circle in the Square, The Experimental Theater Wing, the theater district, television and film for her acting, directing & producing and all 5 burroughs for her living, painting and writing. Dancing has always been her favorite past time, competing only with horse back riding, the beach and lounging with her dogs. Jennifer embraces being an artist but has also learned to place more value on being the best person she can be before any feat she can achieve or anything she can create. She values family and friendships above everything else and is grateful beyond her wildest dreams. She hopes her artistic creations can add value to a beautiful world that sometimes goes by without us noticing. She wishes to grab your attention for just a moment and celebrate what it means to be...alive.
