All about Jen

I'm Jennifer Vazquez, a super senior (5th year) Bachelors of Fine Arts Painting/Drawing major at New Jersey City University. I've been drawing and painting since I was a little girl and I have always wanted to become an artist. Mission accomplished. I am currently working on my BFA thesis show, so watch out for that! I paint primarily in oils but I love multi-media arts so I can't wait to experiment more with future works.

I'm an English tutor on campus and have been doing that for about two years. As you can see, I have a lot of interests. I liked tutoring English so much that I started to write for NJCU's newspaper The Gothic Times and now I'm the Arts and Entertainment section editor! So I do all those things now: painting, editing, tutoring. Right now I'm interning as an assistant for artist Sherry Camhy.  Among other responsibilities I act as a her teacher's assistant in her classes at the Art Student's League, The School of Visual Arts, and her private workshops in her studio.

I grew up very conscious of the environment and have always loved school, so I eventually started the Environmental Club at NJCU. I was president of it for about two years and now it still exists. Because of this I studied abroad last summer in Costa Rica for the GREEN Program and learned all about renewable energy sources. I also studied abroad in India as part of a cultural Immersion program. Basically, what you can get from all this is that I love art, travel, school, and helping people. Those are all my crazy unrelated things that I do that really make me me!
