Jenny earned her Fine Arts degree in Painting and Drawing at Indiana University, then a MFA at the University of Georgia. She studied in Italy during both her undergraduate and graduate programs.

She went on to create landscape and figurative paintings over the years earning numerous honors and exhibiting in places such as The Indianapolis Museum of Art, The National Academy of Design in NYC, Temple University Rome and Palazzo Casali in Cortona, Italy.

In 2016, Jenny and her husband, Dave, purchased their home in Bozeman, Montana. Her creative attention turned to leather work, quite by accident. While seeking cow hair rug for their home, she wandered into a Tandy Leather store. Before she left, she had signed up for a class. (hand tooling a computer mouse pad!)

What began as a simple exploration of leather as a means of creative expression has evolved since. She has turned a creative passion into a thriving one woman workshop, focusing on the beauty of the surroundings found in the mountains, rivers and the American West.

Jenny splits here time between Bozeman, Montana and Indianapolis, Indiana.
