About the Artist

Jennifer Colaw is a self-taught artist and was born in 1963 in Malaysia.  Throughout her childhood, Jennifer developed an appreciation for her tropical surroundings.   Now living in rural Maryland on the eastern shore of the Delmarva penninsula, she often sits in her room for hours with pastels and pad, or sits in the meadows and woods surrounding her home with watercolor and canvas.  Years of artistic expression made it clear that Jennifer's life would be centered upon her passion for art.
 
Seven years ago, Jennifer attended several classes through the Chesapeake College and discovered her passion for painting in watercolor.  She pursued more classes discovering her passion for painting with other media such as acrylic, pastel, charcoal, mixed media, photography, Chinese brush painting, and computer generated artwork.  Jennifer has also renewed her passion for photography.  In addition to selling her artwork, many of her pieces have won local awards.

Jennifer also has a passion for traveling having been to Europe, Central America, Asia, the Carribean, Canada and many states across the US including Alaska and Hawaii.  She has integrated those experiences into her artwork.
