Jennifer’s interest in the arts began at the early age of five when she took oil painting lessons from an elderly painter. Her interest continued throughout her childhood and early adulthood as she experimented with various media. She obtained a business degree from Montclair State University and pursued her interest in metal casting as an elective.
As she worked as CPA, her desire to be creative and expressive could not be extinguished. In her spare time, she took various adult education classes at The Old Church Cultural Center in Demarest, NJ. It wasn’t until she went into the basement of the studio and saw the pottery wheels lined up, did she consider ceramics. After her first wheel-throwing class she was immediately hooked. She had finally found the medium that allowed her to express herself in the way she needed to.
After a few years of studying under great potters such as Susan Beecher and Sara Peterson in NJ, Jennifer moved to Los Angeles and began working independently at The Clayhouse in Santa Monica, then at the Xiem Clay Center in Pasadena. She continued her ceramic education through workshops from famed potters on varied topics.
Jennifer once again resides in NJ and is a current artist member of the Clay Art Center in Port Chester, NY and a former children’s outreach program educator. She is a ceramics instructor for children, teens and adults at the Rockland Center for the Arts in Nyack, NY and gives workshops on her unique techniques. She travels throughout the northeast selling her ceramics at some of the top art exhibitions in the country. Her work has been included in group exhibitions at the M.T. Burton Gallery, the Bruce Museum, and the Montclair Art Museum.
