Fidgets

After living in Denver, Colorado for 32 years, Jennifer French decided it was time for a new life-adventure … and what a fabulous journey it’s been thus far. So many of Jennifer’s passions and dreams have come alive since moving to the Oregon coast. Soon after arriving in Florence, she published a young adult, multi-cultural novel, Hoot Owl Shares The Dawn. Her book won ‘honorable mention’ in the 2005 Independent Publisher’s Awards. Jennifer’s now writing a quirky novel, Under The Same Roof, and it takes place ‘in a funny… but not so funny’ retirement home. With a major in advertising and minor in journalism, Jennifer’s passion for the arts and writing started early. After a long career in college administration she moved to Oregon where she realized her real passion was painting in watercolors and writing. In 2005, Jennifer and her life partner walked into an old vacant building and, with the help of fifteen other artists, managed to transform a five-room house into a thriving artist co-op and art gallery in Florence. Now the Backstreet Gallery is home” for twenty fabulous local artists and has become a pulsating art movement on the central Oregon coast. Whether it’s writing or painting, Jennifer’s creativity always seems to reflect her inner joys, light-hearted humor and passion for life’s simplicities.
