Drawing inspiration from the ocean

Jen explains how the ocean massages her brain and allows her quietude to iron out her thoughts

But when it comes to what saved her life she owes it all to her daughter the self taught artist has created her own style that she affirms makes her feel alive.

Iknew how THAT story ended, Jen discloses, never wanting her daughter to feel as she did. While she felt it was a relief to know that suicide was an option, her daughter helped her see the true value of life; she chose to write poems and paint on canvas to express what she was feeling instead of taking her own life.

Abandoned by her own mother may have changed the trajectory of Jens life though she per sisted and found a way to heal and transform herself and also connect with others.

Relying on her paints to tell her story is only one vehicle to get it out of my mind describes Jen on her creative process, her writing style has evolved since her first poem in 4th grade which she remembers as a ballad of disdain about a flower.

Jen is currently completing a gallery collection of paintings and documents some of her journey through her instagram
