She finds inspiration by reading science journals, exploring topics spurred by personal events, and embracing her genuine curiosity for the world around her. She finds she feels most akin to artists who label themselves as interdisciplinary and work in many mediums. Her science and technology based works have included kinetic microcomputer sculptures, 3D abstract interpretations of ocular laser imagery, and explorations into the future of vision with weavings involving artificial retina data. Jennifer works in several mediums, but finds weaving, ceramics, and photography to be most satisfying. She also finds a majority of her work is 3 dimensional in delivery, as she likes for her pieces to occupy a certain visual mass to be considered from all angles.

Currently, Jennifer explores the future of vision based on research in artificial retinas, which are being refined with clinical trials. She has taken imagery seen by patients with the implant and woven it into painted tapestry pieces. The imagery shows first things one would want to see if they had regained their vision with this implant. Her Artificial Vision work is a ...
