Jennie's Story
Jennie grew up in rural Quebec and has a Fine Arts Degree from Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick. Her work studies the human condition as it relates to nature, social justice, and ancestry.
On the journey to find her artistic voice she combined craft techniques like embroidery and quilting with painting and fabric design. Today, Jennie uses repurposed cloth and contemporary fabrics to create works layered with stitch, photo transfer and paint. Her artworks remain fundamental objects of craft despite losing their functionality. Jennie has been an Artist-In-Residence at various locations in British Columbia and her work has been shown in solo and group shows in British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec, Australia, the U.S. and Italy.
She resides on Burnaby Mountain, the unceded Traditional Coast Salish Lands of the Tsleil-Waututh (səl̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ), Kwikwetlem (kʷikʷəƛ̓əm), Squamish (Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw) and Musqueam (xʷməθkʷəy̓əm) Nations with her two sons and husband.
