Jennifer Folkerts is a licensed acupuncturist, mother, and visual artist in Takilma whose passion for painting and drawing began in high school and continued into her first couple years of college where she found deep joy in her creative process. After a break to pursue a career in Chinese Medicine and starting a family, she rediscovered her love for art during the COVID-19 pandemic, reconnecting with her creative expression through illustration, watercolor painting, pen & ink, and color pencil drawings. Her work is a reflection of her evolving artistic journey and the resilience she has found through creativity during challenging times. When she isn't creating art, you can find her offering acupuncture at her business located in Takilma, OR. Jennifer has a selection of art prints and greetings cards on display year-round at the Guild Gallery & Art Center in Kerby, OR.
