Jenny works from her studio 'Cloudstone',  40 minutes north of Hobart.

Her work is made in response to the textures of the places we inhabit, focusing on the process of making using surface and line.  The history of the paintings is evident in the build up of marks and layers.  They track the passage of time, and the process of coming into their own being, creating a connection between the artist and the viewer.

Jenny holds a BA (Hons) from the Australian National University and an MBA from the Australian Graduate School of Management. In 2002 she left a corporate role in Sydney to pursue a full-time career as an artist in Tasmania. She completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the Hobart School of Art in 2006, majoring in painting and print making.

Jenny exhibits regularly in Hobart and Sydney and her work is included in various group shows.  She is a finalist in the 2011 Glover Prize, and was also selected in 2009 and 2007. Jenny was a feature artist in the Tasmanian 2007 Living Artists' Week and her work received a Highly Commended award in the Tasart Exhibition Burnie 2008.

Jenny is represented by the Colville Gallery in Hobart and Richard Martin Art in Sydney.
