people feel more comfortable talking about their own, they can find ways to support it. Creativity is just one example. ” Jennifer currently represents 14 different regional artists and offers a range of styles, mediums, sizes, and price points. Her goal has always been to live and breathe like any other gallery. She has not wanted special treatment because of the focus on mental health and hopes to offer a caliber of work that appeals to a wide audience. “ I have been blessed with the artists who have wanted to be a part of this gallery and I love that I can offer such a diverse collection. The gallery attracts everyone from young people buying their first original artwork to collectors who have supported me over the years. ” A member of the Portland Art Dealers Association, J. Pepin Art Gallery has been recognized for its mental health advocacy and Jennifer has received awards and spoken at events. She enjoys partnering with local mental health organizations and has participated in the Seattle Art Fair the last three years. Although Jennifer is an artist, her energy continues to be focused on the gallery and using the art to put mental health in a positive light. “ As much as I want to work on my own art, this gallery isn ’ t just about me. It is about the other artists brave enough to share their works and their stories. It ’ s about inspiring others to do the same. It ’ s not only okay to talk about mental health, we have to talk about it. And we have to take care of it as we do our physical health. ”
