Jenifer Hartsfield

    I am a native Texan.  I graduated Magna Cum Laude from The University of Texas in 1957.  My BFA degree is in Art Education.  I earned an MA degree in Drama from the University of Houston in 1978. Currently I work in printmaking and drawing media.  Literary, movement and musical arts as well as the visual world inspire me.  My work process is nourished by my spiritual practices and community life; it is sustained by inner vision, my "eye of the heart."
