Jennifer Erin

Visual Art – Portland

From a young age, Jennifer felt a strong pull towards creativity and the arts, an impulse and drive that has since become an inherent and necessary part of her life. Growing up with an artist father exposed Jennifer to a variety of art forms and techniques, as well as giving her the mindset and drive to never stop creating, but it wasn’t until high school and the ceramics courses she took then that really allowed her to blossom as an artist and marks the period when she fell in love with making art. While the love for art remained a constant, the passion for creating her own works truly had its genesis in her early 30s during a period of life-altering events. Being primarily self-taught, Jennifer began exploring and experimenting with various mediums and textures beyond the basic brush-to-canvas technique. With sculpture as her first love, she found a way to marry parts of that process and discipline into her painting, a technique which evolved into her own distinct style of dimensional art. Jennifer launched as a showcase artist through the RAW Artists Organization and has since been a featured artist at showings in Portland and Seattle. Each piece, show and new development adds fuel to her creative passion, every day shaping and making her life long dream of being recognized as a genuine artist more of a reality.
