Exhibitions and Honors Her painting “Life’s Work” earned the Silver Medal at the Ohio Watercolor Society’s 48th annual juried exhibition in 2025, while “Brecksville Ridge” also placed second in the Landscape Division of Artists Magazine’s 40th Annual in 2024. Two of her pieces have been acquired for the Ohio Arts Council’s permanent collection. Her professional standing includes signature membership in the Ohio Watercolor Society, Kentucky Watercolor Society, and Watercolor USA Honor Society. She also maintains associate membership in Allied Artists, American Impressionist Society, and National Oil & Acrylic Painters’ Societies. Brush Techniques Jennifer creates immersive landscape paintings that focus on the interplay of light, shadow, repetition, and depth. She works in two distinct mediums with contrasting approaches. Her watercolor work on YUPO synthetic paper utilizes the material’s unique properties to achieve vibrant colors and textures through an evaporative, layered approach. YUPO is a synthetic plastic paper that’s completely waterproof, causing watercolor paint to sit on its surface rather than absorb like traditional paper. Each layer must fully dry before the next is applied, creating her distinctive look. In contrast, her acrylic paintings on canvas or panel employ palette knives, ink, silicone tools, and even string-whipping techniques while deliberately avoiding brushes to maintain an impressionistic expression. Where is Jennifer Now? Jennifer is currently represented by the Toledo Museum of Art’s Collector Corner and is actively seeking gallery representation for her acrylic landscape series in the Midwest, particularly where audiences recognize and appreciate her forest scenes. Her work has been featured in AcrylicWorks publications issues 9 through 12, beginning with an honorable mention in issue 9 despite being new to the medium in 2021.
