Welcome to Vintage Tales Studio!  My name is Jennifer and I am an artist, illustrator, and storyteller with two degrees in art.  I am originally from the beautiful mountains of  West Virginia and Kentucky, in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains and the infamous Coal Fields of the US and the place of the Hatfield and McCoy Feud.  After 20 years as an Army wife and teaching off and on for over 30 years, I currently live and work in beautiful  Florida, where my art studio borders a lush wooded preserve, near the historic Daytona Beach and local farmland. Here in my cozy studio,  I surround myself with items from my Appalachian  American culture, my  Christian faith, and tales that inspire me.  I enjoy working with traditional art, illustration materials and mixed media. Themes in my artwork range from whimsical art to art of faith to the beauty in creation.  I also enjoy mentoring and encouraging other creatives.
