If
a New Zealander asks if you're feeling crook should you be insulted
or touched at his consideration? And why is going to bed with a hottie
no reason to get excited in the Land of the Long White Cloud?
Jen's artwork has been exhibited within New Zealand and is currently in
various private collections including several overseas. Besides painting
in watercolor and acrylic she uses pen and ink, often in the pointillist
style. Her work can be bought as an original or as a limited edition print
or card. Her subjects range from floral to animals with the bulk of her
commissioned work being for pet portraits. Besides conventional 2D work
Jen also paints in the round or 3D on rocks. Rock painting forms the major
part of her output and besides undertaking private commissions her work
is found in several retail outlets throughout New Zealand. Some examples
of her art can be found
