Jeni took an interest in art at an early age. Her father, an artist himself, became her first teacher. Various styles such as impressionism and cubism are seen in her work. She is however unique in her development of the Louisiana flounder print and fish series.
Just as her subject matter varies, so does her paint. Working in many different mediums-sometimes combining two and three into one piece. Her favorite, however, is oils. Oil colors are brilliant, and the mixture of them become building blocks of tone and texture. Many times she chooses a color complementary to her palette to create a color play with subsequent undertone layers creating an overall richness and glow.
