About the artist

Jennifer is a Master Printer who taught Print media at QCA Griffith University for over 17 years. She has always had a strong interest in the natural environment, especially the native flora and fauna of South East Queensland. Jennifer often works in layers with printmaking, as well as doing weaving, textile dyeing, mixed media and 3D. She uses natural man-made and found objects collected from walks on the beach, and in the bush. She has been a practicing artist and keen gardener for most of her life, lives on Macleay Island, running multi-discipline workshops from her home studio on Perulpa Island (Mangrove Art & Design). 

Artist’s statement

I am a retired lecturer in print media and design. I am a painter, printmaker, designer, textile artist and sometimes work in 3D. I also run workshops in my studio on Macleay Island in printmaking, cyanotype, textile dyeing and printing, as well as weaving. My work is inspired by our island environment, the beautiful birds and wildflowers found on the Southern Moreton Bay Islands.

Built my first site in 2000 and steadily learned what it takes to make websites work. Dabbled in WordPress back then, still do. Since building my first Squarespace site in 2016, I’ve been impressed with the relatively streamlined approach to website design and development that Squarespace offers compared to WordPress. SEO was a major challenge from the start — I’ve spent a lot of time keeping up with what’s required to get sites working, ranking well on a SERP. I have confidence with what Squarespace offers for SEO.

Having worked for more than 10 years in the web team of an inland, regional university in Australia and dealing with frustrations that come with working for a large corporate enterprise, the idea of setting up my own web design business became my goal.

Set up my business in late 2017. Opted for a sea change, too: I now live on Coochiemudlo Island 45 minutes from Brisbane. Love working from home. Love working for small business clients. Still get casual work with the university.

Challenges? The main one is pricing my work for small businesses. Doing quality work, doing the research to be up to date in the industry, takes time; it’s hard to factor in this time to my pricing while being competitive in the market and affordable for many small businesses.
