About Jennifer Leonard
A self taught artist who lives with her husband and three children in NJ. It all started with crayons and a blank white wall ….. My art goes through phases, I may work with pen and ink for a few months then switch to bright acrylics. My latest project involves tearing tiny pieces of paper from National Geographic and making American Flag Art. When I get inspired by a poem, I use calligraphy to recreate it as beautifully as it sounds. My ideas come from what surrounds me in nature. The swirls of raindrops in a lake, a vibrant sky, textures of bark, smells of wild flowers and the feel of grass on bare feet. If I’m not creating artwork, I'm on a hike thinking about a new groovy project. Now my youngest doodles on walls with permanent marker. It’s time to get the crayons back out.
Now for the part that may make you yawn…Jennifer’s work has been shown at the Saddle River Valley Cultural Center, Upper Saddle River Library, West Milford Library, Lasell College, West Milford Gallery, Kinnelon Library, Amazing Grapes, St Catherine’s and Lakeside Clubhouse. Honorable Mention for American Flag and First Prize on a recycling can project to help beautify West Milford. First Prize for 'Captured Moments' Photograph at the West Milford Camera Club.
