Jennifer Gennari









Words do not do justice to the work of today's featured artist, Jennifer Gennari! She has an amazing ability to capture all elements and likeness of the figure.

 Jennifer Gennari is a classically trained figurative artist. She graduated in 2005 from Ringling College of Art and Design and in 2008 left for Italy to study at the Florence Academy of Art where she spent three years abroad studying classical realism under Daniel Graves.

 Jennifer returned to New York in 2011 and started working as a painting assistant to Jeff Koons. She eventually left to pursue teaching at the National Acadamy Museum and School, the Long Island Academy of Fine Art, and instructs students privately from her studio in Manhattan's Upper East Side.

 Jennifer has written a book on drawing the human figure, and has also hosted an online class through Craftsy that instructs beginners on the techniques used in creating traditional portraits.

 Jennifer's work has been shown internationally and has received multiple awards and honors.

 Work can be found and purchased through www.jennifergennari.com and Instagram @jen_art
