A Little About Me

Welcome! I’m Jennifer Lenhardt, a self-taught artist, writer, and poet. I’m so glad you’ve found your way to my creative corner of the world. If we haven’t met before, here’s a little bit about who I am and why I’m passionate about creating art, stories, and poetry.

For me, creativity seems to always begin with an invitation—an idea that feels as though it already exists, but is just waiting to be brought to life. Like a sculpture hidden within a block of marble, each idea holds its own unique form and spirit; and so, as a creator, my role is simply to reveal it. Whether it’s a painting, a story, or a poem, when an idea calls and the invitation is sent; If I choose to accept it, I RSVP, and off we go together embarking on a journey!

The creative process is always an adventure, full of surprises, to be sure. Sometimes the path is straightforward, and other times it meanders, taking longer than expected. Yet, no matter how long the journey, the result is always a surprise, even for myself—and that’s part of the magic.

As Keats said, “A thing of beauty is a joy forever,” and so my hope for everything I create is that it brings beauty and inspiration to the world. Thank you for visiting, and I hope you find something here that resonates, and that can become a part of your journey too.
