Jennifer Lynn Beaudet is an artist, working in the Washington, DC area. She has an undergraduate and masters degree from The University of Maryland and has completed the rigorous MAP professional artists program at The Compass Atelier in Rockville, MD, led by artist and mentor Glen Kessler. Since 2018, she has also studied under world renown artists such as Alyssa Monks, Gavin Glakas, Steven Assael, and Teresa Oaxaca.

Jennifer has received numerous honors and awards in local and regional competitions including Best in Show at some of the DC metro area’s largest competitions. She has traveled to study at the Flemish Classical Atelier in Brugge, Belgium and is looking forward to an artist residency at Chateau Orquevaux in the Champagne countryside of France.

Her own paintings examine issues of motherhood, self exploration, and identity with sensitively realistic figures balanced by abstracted or graphically patterned backgrounds to reveal stories about her own truths and a broader human experience.

"My process is exploratory, and as in life, it is not always a straightforward path. This iterative approach allows me space to play with the formal elements in an image while I follow along and respond intuitively. As the painting evolves, I am often led to a better understanding of what the painting is about. “
