Jennifer holds a B.S. of Landscape Architecture from the Pennsylvania State University and is committed to using her time and talents to make her community a better place. She is particularly interested in conserving the beautiful natural and agricultural landscapes of central Pennsylvania and engaging more people in the protection of land and water resources through the arts.

“I create art to help people appreciate the landscapes of central Pennsylvania and encourage conservation.  I paint with pastels to quickly capture the beauty and character of nature. Pastels are a vibrant and spontaneous medium, and they allow me to express the light and the energy of the lands and waters that I love.”
