ABOUT

Jennifer Case

I was that kid who covered my schoolwork in curly doodles, filling the borders with intricate scribbles and designs.  I was that kid who filled her pockets with rocks and shells, drawn to some interesting twist or scar. Taken home, these treasures were proudly displayed on a windowsill for all to see.  I’m still that kid; I still doodle and collect rocks, and my windowsills are filled with treasures I've found. I can be easily distracted by the way light shines through the trees or how rocks change color after rains.

I am a mixed media mosaic artist. My art practice explores the connections between people and the natural world. I am fascinated by indigenous stories and mythologies that explore themes of transformation, growth, and wisdom, and how these themes relate to my experience of being in this world. I’m drawn to these ideas specifically because their messages are timeless and serve to remind us that we are all connected to the natural world.

I work with glass, found and broken materials—pottery shards, rocks, and shells—to build narratives about our connection to the natural world. I love using unconventional materials in my work, turning something old into something new and unexpected. 

For 26 years, I worked for The Nature Conservancy in land management, eventually becoming the Fire Manager and a certified Prescribed Fire Burn Boss (RXB2). After retiring in 2024, I wanted to focus on art as my next chapter. Today, when I’m not mountain biking, hiking, or spending time with my family and pets, I’m in my studio, curious to see what these materials can become.

“I’ve rarely seen an artist take to mosaic as naturally as Jenny has. She has an innate sense of color, texture, and design that combine to form images both realistic and soul-stirring. I love watching her
visions emerge on the board, and they never fail to delight me.”

Pamela Goode, Charlottesville, NC

Artist  

"I have been following Jenny's work and missed out on one piece that especially intrigued me. When I saw 'Woman in Turban' I was even more intrigued. Happily, I am now the proud owner/caretaker of that piece. While the photograph is good, the piece in person is so much more. I am thrilled!!
Jenny, you are so talented and inspiring. Thank you again for parting with her!"
