About the Instructor
Jennifer, a former professional ballet dancer, seamlessly translates her passion for movement into the art of bonsai. Inspired by the natural flow of trees, she specializes in carving and thrives on the challenge of working with diverse materials.
Serendipitously drawn into bonsai, she credits Jim Doyle and Walter Paul as pivotal mentors in her journey.
Continuing her apprenticeship under Walter, she seeks formal training with Ryan Neil to refine her technical skills. Jennifer's dedication extends globally, teaching workshops and sharing her expertise at international bonsai conventions.
To her, bonsai is a dialogue with nature, a perpetual journey of learning and growth. Outside of bonsai, she finds solace in nature walks with her cherished Border Collie mix, Samantha.
