Jenny’s formal artistic career started in the 1980s when she completed a BFA in sculpture at Queens University and then attended the Banff School of Fine Art for a winter cycle in the Fibre Art Department.
This started a lifelong obsession with experimentation and materials, and over the last 40 years, her Installation work has expanded to include ceramics, glass, mould-making, drawing, film, and writing. She has attended residencies and workshops to increase her skills and conceptual thinking, including the Master’s program at the University of Minnesota and Art Education at the University of British Columbia.
She has exhibited in Canada, the United States, France, Scotland, Ireland, South Korea, Japan, New Zealand, and Australia. She is a New Zealander and a Canadian, and after living in New Zealand for many years, she is now based in Whistler, Canada.
