My life seems to evolve around some of the greatest cities in the world, for within them are the cowboys, angels, roamers, dreamers and hermits, all wrapped up within their great walls....San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Montreal, Manila, London.
I am a fan of great art, sushi, Kung Fu, Hip-Hop, folky-twangy guitar and harmonicas, graffiti, kissing under dimly lit lamp-posts, the slow decay of paint on the side of buildings from decades past, finding worn wood down by the traintracks to paint on, Food and Poker Network, strappy sandals, Heels, and shoes in general, the sound of Dinah Washington while i make dinner by the sea, traveling, espresso, the sound of raindrops in the ocean 1/4 mile offshore, Netflix, Namu, Green Tea, Red Wine, Beats, Scratch, Kilgallen, Hills, Valleys and in between.
Music
music is well said to be the speech of angels...in fact nothing among the utterances allowed to man is felt to be so divine. It brings us near to the infinite.

Jenn Porreca is not afraid to take risks in experimenting with traditionally held rules of artistry. In bridging the distinctive worlds of fine, modern, street, and folk art, Jenn breathes vital life into her unique paintings by infusing her unique outlook on life into each and every piece she composes.
Born in 1977 in England to a pair of creatively inclined parents (her mother a tombstone/monument maker and horse trainer, her father a musician,) artistic energy and constant exploration have long been central to Jenn’s world. The artist spent her youth living in diverse places like Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia and Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and finally settled in San Francisco at the age of 21. The eclectic San Francsico Bay Area would serve as the perfect breeding ground for this curious, socially aware woman, and she soon found herself involved in non-profit and grant writing work.
However satisfying and successful Jenn found this career sector, she continuously felt a nagging desire to more fully express herself visually, and made the bold decision to focus on her artwork full-time approximately five years ago. In this short period, her aesthetic eye, process, and vision have expanded exponentially, projecting Jenn into a realm of artistic acclaim she once only dreamed of.
Surprisingly, Jenn never attended formal art school; a reality that has helped more than hindered her bold artistry. Her style is unique and she continues to experiment with new techniques and mediums on a regular basis, thus organically feeding into a beautiful and cyclical process of curiosity, knowledge, and experimentation that is literally palpable in her deep and layered paintings. No other artist’s work is quite like Jenn’s, and that’s just the way she likes it.
Citing influences from European silhouette and folklore artists of the early 1900s, San Francisco street art, Japanese Manga, her favorite literature, the collective consciousness, turn of the century typography and European architecture, and the mixed Latin/Asian culture of the Philippines, Jenn’s aesthetic is as emotionally and socially meaningful as it is visually stunning.
True to her restless nature, Jenn is always working on new projects. You’ll be sure to see more of this innovator’s progress and work as she further delves into the bottomless pool of artistic beauty and clarity.

I belief in artgeneering...the artist is only a medium,connected to the spirits around him-translating vibes into symbolic shapes to reinitialize the ancient wayof using language... the way of light and color... without the disguise of words,right through the passage of our eyes... to reach hearts and souls without taking the intelectual loop way... natural formulas in an unnatural world...pure and uncensored... awakening the visiual awareness, the centre of our inner universe... to let it shine in the way it has allways been before these annoying times, that keep us away from our natural mission... to stay connected with our great mother earth and her deep spirit of freedom and peace... we have to regain our nearly lost nativeness, to stop this wheel of opression and iniquity that haunts our world and our hearts...it's time for the rainbow warriors :-)

artgeneering...the artist is only a medium,connected to the spirits around him-translating vibes into symbolic shapes to reinitialize the ancient wayof using language...
the way of light and color...
without the disguise of words,right through the passage of our eyes...
to reach hearts and souls without taking the intelectual loop way...
natural formulas in an unnatural world...pure and uncensored...
awakening the visiual awareness, the centre of our inner universe...
to let it shine in the way it has allways been before these annoying
times,
that keep us away from our natural mission...
to stay connected with our great mother earth and her deep spirit of freedom and peace...
we have to regain our nearly lost nativeness,
to stop this wheel of opression and iniquity that haunts our world and our hearts...it's time for the rainbow warriors :-)
