Jenny strives to make everything beautiful; whether it is a birthday cake, impromptu lunches in the studio or her still life paintings: we all agree she is the go “2” in All2art.
She recently received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Pennsylvania College of Art&Design in Lancaster, PA. Since then she has painted two enormous1000+ square foot murals in the city of Lancaster , but her children, Nick and Ali are her masterpieces.
Jenny’s mantras: -“Beauty of style and harmony and grace and good rhythm depend on simplicity,” (Plato) -“I trust contrariness.” (Seamus Heaney) She believes“to be contrary requires an honest energy of purpose and conviction that conformity lacks.”
