About Jen
Jen's Artistic
Journey
KELOWNA, BC
​
(B.1976 / Canada)
Jen is a self-taught artist based in the Okanagan, inspired by the region's natural beauty, her love for animals, and a passion for bold, expressive colors. After spending over 15 years working in animal care, including roles in wildlife rehabilitation, the SPCA, and veterinary assistance, Jen transitioned into the trades, becoming a Weld Inspector in the oil & gas sector. However, in 2020, the pandemic prompted a life-changing decision: to pursue a healthier lifestyle and explore her creative passions.
​
Jen rediscovered her childhood passion for art, teaching herself a wide range of techniques—from acrylic & oil painting to charcoal & graphite drawings, airbrushing, dry pastels, and digital manipulation—all without the benefit of formal art classes. In the process, Jen has honed her unique artistic voice and developed a distinct and personal style that is rarely seen.
​
Jen now brings her skills together to create one-of-a-kind, ultra-realistic paintings that capture life and energy in every brushstroke. Known for her striking detail and vivid colors, her work brings subjects to life in a rare and immersive way.
Where Myth Meets Reality
A new hyperrealist exploration of mythic subjects rendered with natural-world realism.
Jen is currently exploring a new body of work where myth meets reality—bringing to life the stories and legends told throughout history in a hyperrealistic style.
Painted with the same meticulous detail that defines her other work, these creatures of old are grounded in realism and appear as though they were captured in a National Geographic photograph, offering a captivating and authentic vision of mysticism and lore within the natural world.
​
By embracing new tools and techniques, Jen has built a thriving art business, leaving her career as a Weld Inspector behind to focus fully on her art.
