Jennifer Zoellner was born in upper Michigan on an air force base. She moved to St. Petersburg FL when she was five and started kindergarten. She attended Pinellas County Center for the Arts at Gibbs High school. She then went on to get her Bachelors in English. Jennifer volunteered at as an art teacher for children with mental handicaps in the nation of Jordan for a year.

Jennifer has always created art. She won her first art contest in the fifth grade.

Currently she works as a mail artist and runs her own mail art call complete with website and forth coming show. You can see the mail art that she has received at www.jenniferzoe.blogspot.com. Last year's show, Chromatophore, had over 350 entries from 20 different countries. In turn, Jennifer sends out mail art to art shows all over the world. Last year she was in the original A Book About Death show in New York City. From meeting artists at that show she has created a zine called Abalcabal. It is a fluxus publication that involves artists who were a part of the ABAD show.



Jennifer Zoellner is influenced by the Fluxus movement and Ray Johnson, who she credits as the father of mail art and "correspondance." He is her "Da-da" so to speak. She is also influenced by Frida Kahlo, Georgia O'Keffee, Diane Arbus, Cindy Sherman and Andrew Wyeth.

Jennifer also paints. She is a member of the Miniature Art society of Florida and last year had two pieces in their international show. She also paints large oil color paintings and smaller collage works using epherma and acrylic paints.

In her spare time she raises three crumbcakes (children) and makes rag dolls from discarded and new fabrics. She had three dolls in the Eclipse gallery show in Algoma, WI called, "50 artists, 50 states, 50 mediums." She entered three dolls into the Momiji doll contest and her doll "Gretchen" made the top 10 dolls and was featured in Los Angeles, CA gallery called, "Royal/T" which specializes in Japanese pop culture.

Jennifer writes a blog called, "Wee-Hoo's Looking Glass." Feel free to spy on her there... www.wee-hoo.blogspot.com
