The art of a connected life
Join me in full pursuit of deeper connection to faith, nature, and art. Let's connect through art that memorializes our inner work and life milestones and binds us together.
Rooted in nature, shaped by becoming
My work is rooted in love, faith, nature, grief, renewal, and the inner process of becoming. Shaped by northern Michigan's seasons, water, orchards, light, and land, my art gives visual form to what often lives beneath the surface of our lives. Through layered abstract paintings, natural materials, poetry, and sensory details, my work invites viewers to slow down, reflect, and recognize beauty in their own seasons of change.
The artist behind the work
I am a lifelong, self-taught visual artist working primarily in acrylic abstract paintings. After a great loss reshaped my life, I returned to my native northern Michigan, where the rhythms of the seasons, lake, land, and light became deeply embedded in my work. My art is visual poetry, exploring love, faith, nature, and the inner work of becoming, and can be found in private collections across the country.
Books of art, poetry, and reflection
My books extend the life of my artwork beyond the canvas, pairing abstract paintings with poetry, prose, and reflection. Each book offers a deeper way into the themes that shape my work: grief, renewal, faith, nature, beauty, and the inner process of becoming. Created as companions to my art, these books invite readers to slow down, notice what is moving beneath the surface, and carry a piece of the work with them.
Reflections about the work
Hear from my creative partners, collaborators, and collectors—the ecosystem of support around way of jen. While my art is created through deep, personal reflection, it only comes fully alive once shared in the space and lives of my community. These reflections offer a glimpse into the connection, meaning, beauty, and presence my work brings into homes, gatherings, and everyday life.
