Initially
Jennifer trained at Edinburgh College of Art from 1987-1992. She
followed that with a short period of teaching at Madras College, St
Andrews, before dedicating her time to painting full time.
Her paintings can be described as todays ‘every day art’, they show days out, holidays and favourite tourist spots, all of which often feature her two young children. Her paintings have the ‘feel good factor, unpretentious, unsophisticated and honest.
Her work has been widely exhibited and some of her paintings are in the permanent collections of The City Arts Centre and The Royal Bank of Scotland.
She
has done commissions for organisations such as Scotrail, The Ladies
Golf Union and Fife Coast and Countryside Trust, to name a few. Her
cards are now sold in shops throughout Edinburgh including Jenners
Department Store and The National Gallery of Scotland.
A happy artist in touch with the ordinary people of Scotland, a woman who has never forgotten her roots and is proud of her heritage and the landscape of her country.

Another
artist that uses colour and these paintings look like the artist takes
great joy in doing so. There's easily identifiable Scottish icons here,
like highland cattle, and castles by a loch.
