Jenny’s path to art began with modern quilting. As a self-taught artist, she learned to sew through books and blogs before becoming part of the national modern quilting movement. In 2010, she served as a founding board member of the Kansas City Modern Quilt Guild, where she had a front-row view of a movement shaped by bold color, graphic design, community, and fresh interpretations of tradition. Quilting gave her a foundation in fabric, color, composition, precision, and improvisation.

After years of working with textiles and creating quilts, Jenny expanded her practice into painting. Drawn to the vibrancy and unpredictability of ink, she began experimenting with its fluid nature and gradually developed techniques to guide its movement and preserve its color. Her work has been shown at art fairs across the Midwest, and one of her paintings was featured in HGTV’s Bargain Mansions.

After exploring multiple mediums, she found a way to bring her love of textiles and painting together. Using ink and Flashe, she creates fabric-like surfaces that are pressed onto canvas in forms that resemble folded material floating in water or air. Her work captures the beauty of a fleeting moment, using color, movement, and visual texture to create paintings that feel soft, dimensional, and almost touchable. Her current body of work has been featured in multiple group exhibitions in Kansas City.
