Hi! Please call me Jen. I am a mom, a wife, a daughter, a sister, a musician, and an artist. I love music, mainly rock and metal, and I love art, especially abstract. I started drawing when I was 2, and I would illustrate book "covers" for any books I aspired to write at the ripe age of 8. :) Through high school, my love for fine and English arts grew. I entered a few drawings in the local fair in 1999 and won first place, and I began writing poetry and submitting my poems for publication. In 2006, I was accepted into the University of Texas in Austin for Studio Art. While my stay at UT was short lived, the techniques I learned in my design and drawing classes were extremely valuable and hold dear to my heart today. I have also written several acoustic songs and play guitar. I love to sing, and I fully believe laughter is the best medicine!

I have participated in Waco Uptown Artwalk, Out on the Brazos, The Waco Wellness Seasonal Holistic and Metaphysical Fair, and Mystic Moon Night Market in Waco, TX. I have also been a vendor at the New Moon Market in Tyler and participated in the Divine Feminine Art Exhibit in Grapevine, TX. I was featured in The 254 section of the Wacoan magazine in August 2022. I love supporting small businesses in my community, especially the metaphysical and holistic ones...the owners and clientele of these businesses I'm proud to say are my tribe, and it's important to me that I lift them up as well.

In June 2024, I participated in the Waco Local Artists exhibit at Cultivate 7Twelve. I am a Certified Spiritual Coach, Certified Tarot Coach, and Certified Sound Bowl Healer. 

​

In May 2025, I graduated with my Masters of Science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Tarleton State University, and my full-time job is counseling youth and adolescents with a local mental health agency. I absolutely love working with kids and guiding them through so many existential issues they are facing...I also get to see the world through their eyes and learn through their experiences.  

I have been featured in Voyage Dallas Magazine and participated in the Alternative Perspectives exhibit at Gallery Main Street in Tyler October-November 2018.

My piece "Resilience" was featured in the online exhibition "The Heart" through The Artist's Circle Gallery in Austin, Texas. You can check it out here: https://www.theartistscirclegallery.com/the-heart

"Resilience" was also on an all-in-one makeup palette introduced in 2021 by Honeybee Gardens based out of Pennsylvania, USA. You can find this beautiful palette here: Resilience All In One Palette | Versatile, Vegan & Cruelty-Free | Honeybee Gardens

• "Resilience" is about the woman who has gone through so much turmoil, pain, and heartache; getting knocked down 9 times and getting up 10, only to discover herself again. She has learned to transmute all of her negative emotions into a burst of healing love and positive energy. It is her in her raw emotion, independent of any oppression, empowered by her own strength, and knowledge that despite the injustices she has faced, those will not stop her from helping and being present for others. Resilience is empowerment, faith in self, breaking cycles, ending karmic lessons, and believing in love no matter how much her heart has been broken. It is learning to laugh in the face of adversity and breaking out of scarcity mindset. This painting is the one I've poured my heart, soul, past, present, and future into, and I hope with all of my being that it speaks to everyone who has experienced any heartache, of any kind.
