Bio:

Jennifer has been artfully playing with clay for over thirteen years. From hand crafted tea boxes, lidded containers, hand painted serving trays and wine coolers to intricately detailed sculptures, Jennifer encourages the clay to determine its form. Releasing expectations of the outcome allows her works to be spontaneous and unique.

She describes the creative process. "The creative spirit is an energy that transcends the story of life. When I am creating, the story dissolves completely and only the energy remains. Sometimes spirits from a distant past take shape in the clay I am molding with my hands. Sometimes the clay becomes an expression of pieces of me that I've yet to fully comprehend or give life to. It's an amazing experience to witness yourself outside of yourself and see yourself for who you really are. In the rawest form you are, simply put, energy."

Jennifer holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Studio Art with a sculpture concentration from American University. She has studied with numerous ceramic and fine artists in Maine, Arizona and North Carolina. Her work has exhibited in all three states. She is currently a graphic design major at Maine College of Art.

Practicing and teaching yoga has brought Jennifer more in touch with her creative spirit. Yoga's influence can be found in most of her figurative work.
