Jennifer Redstreake Geary has been an artist since her wee young days back in New Mexico, where she grew up. Her parents were super supportive and encouraged her to “Keep at it” and by the time she was in her 20’s, she was doing what she loved, professionally. She fuels her creativity with green chili and tankards of coffee. Graphic designer / web developer by day - watercolor artist by night and raiser of wild children (can’t forget that, as those kids keep her feeling young and spry!), Jennifer stays very busy creating and garnering inspiration from everyday things. Best known these last few years with her ball jar series, Jen has also dabbled in painting tiny little playthings who get themselves into funny situations (her kids set up the scenes and she would paint them). She loves rendering complex florals in watercolor, any kind of fuzzy face you can think of and scenes that relax her, like a warm summer beach. As you can see in her portfolio, her work is extensive, her genre, vast. There is nothing she won’t try (except painting before having coffee. Bad idea.) Her process is simple: layers upon layers of transparent watercolor on Ampersand Aquabord (or Canson 140 lb watercolor paper). She uses the very best paint, Daniel Smith Watercolors, and her favorite Black Gold brushes by Dynasty. Depending on her mood, she either paints very detailed or super loose. Either way, usually she is happy with the outcome. Jennifer’s art has been featured in many group and solo shows in the Tennessee Valley over the past 15 years. Her original work is sought out by collectors all across the globe. Her new paintings in the coming year will (hopefully) both please her collectors and attract new ones. Her paintings have been featured in national magazines and have been published countless times in local media.

Jennifer currently resides happily in Huntsville, Alabama with her beloved coffee machine and her Muse, a cat named Tipper..
