Fine Art: by Jennifer Shuey

Art Alliance member Jennifer Shuey displays her pastel drawings at the Downtown Improvement District Office (127 S. Fraser St.) March 1 through the month of April.

Artist Bio:

“I create art to help people appreciate the natural and agricultural landscapes of central Pennsylvania and encourage conservation. I paint with pastels to quickly capture the beauty and character of nature. Pastels are a vibrant and spontaneous medium, and they allow me to express the light and the energy of the lands and waters that I love.”

Jennifer Shuey is the Director of Development for the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts, where she raises the money to produce the community’s annual Arts Festival in downtown State College and the adjoining University Park campus of The Pennsylvania State University. Prior to that she served nearly fifteen years as Executive Director of ClearWater Conservancy of Central Pennsylvania.

Jennifer is a native of Centre County, Pennsylvania. She holds a B.S. of Landscape Architecture from the Pennsylvania State University and is committed to using her time and talents to make her community a better place. She is particularly interested in conserving the beautiful natural and agricultural landscapes of central Pennsylvania and engaging more people in the protection of land and water resources through the arts.

Jennifer is a Signature Member of the Central Pennsylvania Pastel Society and served five years on the Board of the Art Alliance of Central Pennsylvania. She is on the Bellefonte Art Museum’s Artist Registry and is a juried member of the Farmland Preservation Artists of Central Pennsylvania. She also serves as the Board Treasurer of the Centre County Farmland Trust and is a Trustee of the Hamer Foundation.
