I have been a maker for as long as I can remember and painting is my passion. Nature and colour provide the greatest amount of inspiration and I hope that my artwork uplifts viewers and provides collectors with a lifetime of joy.

I work fulltime as a feltmaker and textile artist. Minjerribah is a place of infinite inspiration for me. It is where I come to recharge, get some soul food, commune deeply, and create.

I am a watercolour artist, painting original seascapes inspired by this beautiful island, which I turn into unique greeting cards.

My mother taught me to embroider when I was in primary school. I always think it was a way to make me sit still and yet keep me busy. I have improved my skills over the years by attending fantastic workshops and have learnt many different forms of embroidery including Cross stitch, Wool embroidery, Stumpwork, Crewel, Elizabethan, Ribbon, Goldwork and Brazilian.

My lamps are created from my love of textiles that I have gathered from across the globe - ikats, indigo, barkcloth, ecodyes, European linens or just plain funky. My joy comes from teaming these with amazing bases.

Jennifer enjoys making functional work to be enjoyed often in people’s homes. She likes to consider the harmony of a piece, a combination of design and just the right amount of fluidity is key to figuring out how to create a form that “sings”.
