“When you’re in the state between dreaming and waking - that blissful, emotion-filled weightlessness of another land that you know, but you can’t quite remember; this is the feeling I seek to create in my works.

Artist Philosophy
If I were interested in the details, I would have painted them. I'm more interested in how we remember things. The feelings of a place, of a dream; this is what I want to convey in my work. I want people to feel like they've been somewhere, even if only for a moment.”

Art, in its highest form, should feel like falling into a portal. You experience it for a moment, but in that moment an entire lifetime slipped through your consciousness. You became aware of past lives, of things you've never lived through, you stepped outside of time. To say that art is simply an addition to life is an understatement; it's a seed that grows into a mighty oak forest, a love letter to someone in the future that you will never meet. It's a hope that this part of your experience will be witnessed. In creating that hope, we connect and make the world a better place."
In Response to "AI Generated" Art
In most cases, Jennifer is not a fan of people using "AI-generated art" in place of artistic expression. "In my opinion, what most people call AI art is a non-consensual amalgamation which draws upon the work of real artists, without crediting or compensating them. I hope people us it only as hypothetical approximations of what could be, and that they use it with limitation, and never at the expense of a living artist who could have been hired or asked to create something similar. Most artists have a hard enough time making a living at their work. Expression is one of the best things about humanity and being alive, and it doesn't need to be replaced computers."
