She creates intimate surrealist landscapes and warped snapshots that hold eyes hostage and all seem to form spontaneously from their first mark on the paper. Jennifer has also recently started oil painting, focusing on occupied war-torn communities and its members. Her work has been featured on 7 album covers over the past 8 years, and she is currently working on a book with poet, Brad Hamers. Jennifer is an active member of The New Police collective.
