She is a versatile creator, author, and illustrator, with her sketches recently published in award- winning THOM magazine.

Jennifer’s narrative quilt will incorporate elements inspired by Victorian crazy quilts as she depicts her favorite time of year in Thomasville: the Rose Show and Festival. She became a Thomasville homeowner just before the 2014 festival, has celebrated her birthday during festivals, and sees the tradition as showcasing the best of the Thomasville community coming together in celebration.
