Jennifer Crawley is one of the artists from the URBAN LAND exhibit now on display at Steam Whistle Brewing throughout the month of August.
Jennifer Crawley is a contemporary painter who paints images of her surroundings. Moved by light and contrasts, she paints urban and scenic landscapes as well as portraits and custom works. Jennifer uses both black and white oil paint, and color palettes. She painted with her mother at a young age and then picked it up again as a young adult. Jennifer is currently working on her next piece; a large installation sized 150×180 inches. In her spare time, she likes to hang out with her friends, shoot pool, do yoga, read and spend it with the people she loves. If you ask Jennifer’s best friends how they would describe her, it would be as fun and always up for a good time.
