GFNO Poster Artist: Jennifer Serio Psalmonds
Jennifer is a full time Louisiana-based abstract artist with a BFA in Graphic Design from Louisiana Tech University. She is drawn to the majestic colors and movement in nature, especially in Louisiana, which are replicated in her abstract and floral pieces. She is also inspired by Sicilian art, which is a heavy influence in her abstract Crowned Women series, radiating strength, beauty, and fashion.
Jennifer uses many applications and layers of acrylic paint to get the desired effect, however, she doesn’t limit herself to only one medium. She has been known to use oil sticks, charcoal, inks, watercolors, and collage.
Jennifer describes her work as spontaneous and lively and hopes it brings much joy to her collectors.
