Painting is such a powerful way to connect—with yourself and with others. When people paint together, they share creativity, laughter, and a sense of accomplishment. It breaks down barriers and creates a space for authentic expression. It's not just a hobby; it's my go-to therapy session. Painting brings me peace, joy, and probably a bit too much excitement! 

But here's the scoop: I'm not about keeping all this creative goodness to myself. I'm on a mission to spread the joy like glitter at a craft party. So, picture this: Mom's night in with my gal pals. Paint, laughter, and maybe a bit of spilled wine (oops!) turned into the epic Rose N Brush. Did I mention team building? This is a great opportunity to bring creative camaraderie to a community of like-minded individuals for a fun and relaxing take on mandatory fun! 

Now, why Rose N Brush, you ask? So, naturally, I birthed this fantastic mobile paint party extravaganza! Yep, you heard it right - a party on wheels, rolling through Wisconsin. This has become a way for me to connect and find community wherever I go.

 Art sets me free and lets me be free. Have you ever felt that art has the power to set you free and liberate your soul? I certainly have! When I let my creativity flow, I feel that all the worries and constraints of life disappear, and I can truly be myself. It's like a magical experience that allows me to express my emotions and thoughts freely.

In 2010 Jennifer was diagnosed with Chiari Malformation and Pseudotumor Cerebri. Pseudotumor Cerebri also known as Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension is an increase of pressure within the skull. This occurs when there is an abnormal buildup of cerebrospinal fluid around the brain. This leads to Jennifer having headaches and troubles with her vision. Chiari malformation (CM) is a condition in which brain tissue, particularly the cerebellum, protrudes downward into the spinal canal through the foramen magnum, the opening at the base of the skull. This occurs when the skull is smaller or misshapen, creating pressure that forces the brain downward. The condition can be congenital (present at birth) or, rarely, acquired later in life due to factors like tumors, cysts, or trauma. In 2011 Jennifer underwent brain surgery a decompression is the most common procedure, removing a small section of skull to relieve pressure and restore CSF flow. Through all of this Jennifer found a love for crafting. Jennifer uses crafting to relieve stress and just finds it overall relaxing.
