Jennifer was born and raised in Buffalo NY. Growing up, she spent a lot of time with family on Grand Island and the Tuscarora Reservation as well as the Six Nations reserve in Canada. Besides working full time in law enforcement, she maintains a love and passion for her artwork. Jennifer is a self-taught painter who was introduced to the art industry at a very young age through her family of artists and vendors. Traveling across the US and Canada to numerous shows and art markets with her grandparents, Jennifer gained a great appreciation for Art and entrepreneurship.

She tried many different mediums herself from bone carving to pottery making to bead working. Her most recent endeavor began in 2015 when she tried painting with acrylic on canvas. She soon fell in love with a stippling technique that transforms paint into a beadwork-like design.
Jennifer continues to be inspired by her late grandfather, world renowned Bone and Antler Carver, Stanley Hill, Christi Belcourt, and many other talented family members. Her art is a reflection of her ancestry, her passions, and her life experiences.
