Storytelling is one of the most important keys to Jennifer's metal designs. Much of her art falls under the category of faces, figures, and scenes. Each of these pieces holds a story. Toys, folk tales, playing cards, and a childhood memory of surrealist paintings play an important part in her art images. Scenes from the theater, film, and details from religious icons inspire her window pieces. Mardi Gras and Carnival led her to masks and faces. Any found piece of iron becomes a challenge, a puzzle in reverse. Jennifer finds the bits and pieces, and it's up to her to discover the art within them. Jennifer has a BA in Theater and Media Arts from Rhodes College. Her early love of theater led to costume design, which in turn brought her to jewelry and then to iron.
