6 p.m. Art Opening with Jenni Bee

My works comes from my love to every living creature and my deep connection to nature. Sometimes I paint what springs from within me, such as dream images.

Born in Italy to Russian immigrants, Jenni Belotserkovsky grew up in Germany where she studied graphic design. There she worked as a graphic designer and a typesetter before setting out to explore the world. She now lives in Vermont, where she teaches art and curates an art kiosk. Jenni has had her art exhibited throughout Central VT. You can find her paintings and drawings at: www.facebook.com/JenniBeeArt.
