Artist Statement: “The Pee-wee’s Playhouse playset came across my radar as an adult while searching for the Billy Baloney ventriloquist dummy and talking Pee-wee doll. For years, the playset felt like a long shot—always out of reach. That changed this past summer when, after a long hiatus from making art, I was accepted into Evolved Art Gallery’s Pee-wee tribute exhibition. During the show’s final weeks, I went to a retro toy show to celebrate my work selling, and there it was: the boxed playset on a table, priced at less than half of anything I’d seen before. Finding it felt like a true nod from the universe that I was finally on the right track. Now, the quest begins to find every figure to fill it.”
An artist in a past life and now on a journey of self-(re)discovery, Jen works in a variety of mediums, blending traditional realism and bold pop art styles to create her signature pop portraits. Recently, she has begun dabbling in puppet-making, adding physical movement to her portraits for a delightful touch of whimsy.
