Jennifer Tepper

Jennifer is a fourth-generation native of Washington, DC, and was blessed to grow up in a city with so many amazing museums, resources, beautiful places, and opportunities to pursue art.

She matriculated from the Catholic University of America with a B.A. in English Literature, with concentrations in Fine Art and Philosophy. After graduating, Jennifer continued her art education with classes at the Smithsonian Institute and Corcoran School of Art & Design in Washington, DC, the former Columbia School of Visual Arts in Columbia, MD, and the Torpedo Factory in Alexandria, VA.

Jennifer has worked with pen and ink, colored pencil, acrylic and oil, and clay, and has pursued painting, figure drawing, calligraphy, stippling, ceramics, and more. For the past 6 years, she’s focused on painting mostly abstract in acrylics and oils. She has exhibited her work in studio tours, gallery exhibitions, restaurants, and shops in both Virginia and New Mexico.

Jennifer began her pursuit of a creative avocation in earnest after a career in commercial real estate in Washington, DC, spanning more than 15 years.

She was a yarn dyer for nearly 18 years, opening Spirit Trail Fiberworks in January 2003. It was a different and really fun way to work wit...
