Hello! Welcome to Shadow Effects Art!

I’m Jen, the creator to all this madness you see here. If you are enjoying my art, you are probably as weird as I am. Just kidding. Moving on, I am a self-taught artist as of 2019. I have always enjoyed art, but I was convincing myself for so many years that I was not able to do art. So I did other artistic activities such as jewelry making, crafts, drawing, repurposing, and literally any form of art. I still do enjoy those activities, but when I discovered painting, I was hooked. This is my favorite of them all. I entered the art world locally in 2021. I have learned so much since entering the art scene in town. I am constantly trying to perfect my skills and challenge myself in my work as well as in the art world. I have a few goals for myself, so stay tuned for updates. I am looking to do more festivals

and I am hoping to paint murals. So, far I have done one mural, which will be posted on my site. As for festivals I have done one to date in July 2023. I will post updates on upcoming events. A little about who I am, I have 1 son and a lot of pets. My son and I are both animal lovers so we currently have 2 cats, 2 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, and 1 rabbit. We also foster animals from a local shelter. You might notice I paint rabbits often, I have had many pet rabbits and for some reason I always liked them. I also have quite the green thumb, I have a miniature jungle in my home. If you are curious about HOW I create my art, I can’t explain. I basically begin with a rough idea or a subject. That’s when my brain wheels begin to turn. I am more of an intuitive painter, I prefer to let the brush guide me. I have always said my art is like clay. It starts like a blob on the canvas and forms as I go. I am open to commissions if you want a specific piece done, so don’t be afraid to email me your requests! Thanks for visiting, I hope to see you again!
