Jennifer LOVED drawing and everything art related in middle school with Mrs. Hendrick's at Wentville Middle School.
High school brought low grades and the words, "too realistic" and she left art behind.

Those "realistic" words were heard again....
and she kept creating and sold several paintings and prints.

The value of printed images are PRICELESS.

Jennifer's Dad (Don) was an Army Vietnam Veteran stationed in Cam Ranh Bay in 1968.
Her mother said he was the sweetest man before he was sent overseas.
After returning home, he slept with a gun or knife under his pillow and if you touched him, he wake up swinging his fists.
We went fishing a lot before the term PTSD was coined.
He suffered from memory loss for over 15 years before transitioning from a heart attack at 62 years.
Jennifer's Mother (Ruth Ann) worked in telecommunications for over 30 years and retired from GTE.
Jennifer worked in the same call center for 5 years... took a trip to Montana and could no longer work in the environment.
She jumped for joy when she walked out of the call center for the last time.
Jennifer was Ruth Ann's end of life caregiver and she transitioned on March 25, 2020.
Photographs and memories are priceless and that's left behind.
Both of Jennifer's parents came from extremely poor families in southern Missouri and grew a lot of love and goodness.
It's the resilience that keeps the creative going.
Jennifer is a Certified Life Coach, Spiritual Intuitive and Spiritual Minister
She believes Mediation and Mindfulness are Priceless!
Jennifer is spiritually minded and her heart is in Montana.
She's visited twice (so far) and has a list with The Bear Tooth Highway at the top and northern Idaho.
There's a different frequency being there that does not compare to Missouri.
Jennifer would love to be a summer mountain wanderer.
