Jen Woodard

Visual Artist

My current work is a visual ​response to my internal world. I’m ​doing my best to find meaning in ​my life and in my work. My focus ​now is on Classical painting and ​drawing.

Works in progress...

“So like children, we begin again...


to fall,


patiently to trust our heaviness.


Even a bird has to do that


before he can fly.”

Rainer Maria Rilke
