"With two different flower stems sharing one seed, this piece represents the origin of our lineage as humans. We are interconnected with our history, but share our unique stories as we’ve migrated around the world. It is about coming back together to share stories and celebrate both our unique journeys and our universal past."

Jen attended Sheridan's BAA Illustration program before emerging into the Toronto art community in the early 2010s. Her works in large format acrylic explore themes of loneliness, nature, and a subtle complexity under veils of visual pleasantry. Jen has often felt like a wallflower to the human race, often watching the modern world from the edges of nature with a longing for human connection yet a lack of discernment for how to proceed. Her natural state better connects to animals and the curiosities of the wilderness, often depicted in her work through one or two sentient beings nestled within childlike botanical motifs. Folk art represents a more natural human experience, which she believes is something that needs to be preserved for us to all feel connected to our universal lineage.
