BIO
Jennifer Gregory Portz is a Dallas artist working in acrylics and multi-media.
Her original pieces are known by her signature eye catching florals.
Intrigue for eyes originated from scant flashcube memories of her mum from England, who was also an artist.
Eyes reflect, detect, and cause connect. #eyesurvive #eyefindblueskies #eyepreferthevoice
Art expression began at four,which led her to being a Fine Arts Painting Major in the 80s whilst her eyeflowers merely private renderings.
She discovered non-profit ArtCon in 2009, then in 2010 found a Deep Ellum art gallery called Kettle, which supports local artists.
Her work has shown in various group shows in Dallas, one solo show in Rockwall, and most recently Deep Ellum Art Festival.
She survived breast cancer in a blue wig which granted relief for all in the midst, then #bluehairnotaclown became her FacePainter persona.
Jennifer began painting Vintage Telephones as a statement regarding Technology connect/disconnect.
She discovered Galveston in 2009, where she happily maintains artspace at From the HeART Gallery on the island.
Her work is currently being produced into TEXTILES via ArtPillows, whilst ArtScarves are in production planning.
Available originials: Kettle Gallery Dallas and From the HeART Gallery Galveston
