Jennifer J. Jelenski

Jennifer J. Jelenski (aka: J3) grew up in a sleepy little mill town in Indiana and was born in time to be a Star Wars kid and fan of Jack Kirby. Her creative energies, love of comic book art, and nomadic tendencies guided her to nearby Chicago where she attended the American Academy of Art and Tree Studios. A strong drive towards her own creative path encouraged her to leave the structure of schooling behind and pursue soft sculpture, acrylic painting and a short yet very successful career as a make-up artist. From there she moved to the mountains and valleys of North Carolina where she put her full time into creating fine art and spent six years painting Wrathful Tibetan Icons which lead to several successful shows. Her current work is an eclectic assortment of comic book style cartoon critters and Tibetan symbolism that comes from the more 'interesting' corners of her mind and personal experiences. Jennifer currently lives in Los Feliz, California with her oddball husband, energetic personal assistant cattle dog, and her special-ed bunny and model Bleau. www.myspace.com/sacredskull
