BIO

Jen Crowe is an abstract painter working in oil & cold wax. Her work focuses on ideas of emotional transition, passage of time and connection to place.

For the past twelve years, Jen has also worked as a jewelry designer, handcrafting her own line of sterling silver, gold and bronze jewelry. In 2016 she began weaving, learning the Japanese form of Saori floor loom weaving in Los Angeles. She creates one-of-a-kind warps to weave free form art pieces and woven wearables.

Jen spent her formative years in Wisconsin where she was involved in art and creativity throughout her middle and high school years. She has a degree in art history from Lawrence University in Wisconsin. Jen still has a strong connection to her home state where much of her family resides.

After finishing her degree, Jen relocated to Los Angeles. Here she focused on developing her own work for over a decade. During this time, she helped support other artists by running pop-up galleries. Her time in California solidified her deep connection to the wild western lands. She spent all free time in the mountains, amongst the trees and in the desert before relocating to the Oregon coast. Jen co-owned Vaulted Gallery in Astoria, Oregon from 2019 – 2021. Jen and her husband now spend their time between Ireland and California.

With a hunger for travel and love of outdoor spaces, her work is often an expression of her emotional response to these experiences. To help preserve these natural places she loves, Jen has supported the National Forest Foundation’s tree planting program since 2016.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The fun bio…

Transplanted from Wisconsin to the west coast, I’ve become addicted to grand vistas, giant redwoods and the sound of the ocean! 

I spent several years traveling the western U.S. in an RV with my husband before we moved to the northern Oregon Coast where we had the beach and large herds of elk out our back steps– it was pure magic!

In 2021 we’re on to a new adventure… and back in our beloved sunny California.

I envision possibility everywhere, and I believe the excitement is in figuring out how to bring things to life. 

I go with my gut and make decisions in the moment. I believe creativity is an experiment. The beauty is in the process and the story.

With me you get the raw powerful, slightly unpolished behind the scenes version because life’s more fun that way.

I have been told that I have a unique creative vision and artistic style, a genuine heart, mad organizational skills and determination that just won’t quit.

I also have 20+ years of experience leading businesses, facilitating events, selling high end goods and working with artists. Amazing memories of studying in Firenze, and over 12 years of creating and selling my own artwork.

Make art + do good.

I’m an abstract artist, painting in oil & cold wax on wood panels. I love to spend time at my Saori floor loom and sometimes create my own handwoven “canvas” to paint on with watercolor and inks. I can also sculpt or fabricate jewelry in precious metals. Often inspired by the outdoors and travel, my work is made to unleash unfettered expression, to support, preserve and protect nature.

We (you and I) plant trees with every purchase you make. The National Forest Foundation facilitates our good work.

I believe in protecting these spaces because the good stuff is exploring, getting outside to talk to the trees, and never wearing shoes for a walk on the beach.

Passionate about happy clients, I am here to anticipate what your soul needs and deliver it to you in the form of art you can feel good about.
