Jennifer Bergen is a mixed-media abstract artist based in Norman, Oklahoma. Jenny’s love for abstract art was quite literally born from chaos. Like many other people, COVID changed Jenny’s life forever. While looking for a creative outlet to survive lockdown, Jenny found her spark in a kids’ paint set and the Google search bar. Over the next three years, Jenny’s art evolved into the creations you see today. Jenny believes her art speaks to the incredible value of vulnerability and authenticity in everyday interactions, and considers herself incredibly blessed to have found this craft.
