About

As a Brisbane-based artist and art educator, Jennifer has exhibited in numerous group and solo exhibitions, completed design commissions, large stained-glass window designs, designs for textile works, illustrations and works for print and web. Although Jennifer’s practice has been extensive, drawing continues to be her main focus.

In 2011, Jennifer completed the Master of Visual Art at QCA, Griffith University, with an exhibition titled Uncharted Terrains. The exhibition featured large innovative drawings and digital images, sourcing rainforests streams, to challenge mimesis concepts while exploring notions of perception.

In 2021 Jennifer Completed the Doctorate of Visual Art at QCA, Griffith University.

Jennifer explores, through her artworks,  understandings of representation and ways of integrating traditional and digital image-making with a primary focus on drawing. Jennifer’s interest in how we interact with images in a digital era informs her current practice.

Jennifer’s art practice parallels her career as an art educator. As head of art in high school for 14 years, Jennifer developed a deep appreciation of the importance of art education for both the individual and society.  She is intrigued and inspired by the potential for art education to develop problem solving abilities, appreciation of aesthetics and openness to possibility and difference.  Jennifer founded Brizart in 1999. Brizart continues to offer art education for children, teens and adults in the western suburbs of Brisbane.
