JENNIFER DE ANGELO BAXTER
Jennifer De Angelo Baxter graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, concentration in oil painting in 2006. While at Notre Dame, she studied abroad in Rome, Italy where she studied Ancient Roman and Renaissance art. Jennifer has been drawing and painting since she was a little girl and can’t imagine her life without making art. Currently a Northern Virginia resident, Jennifer is an elementary special education teacher for Loudoun County Public Schools.
Jennifer’s current body of work is built on her life experiences, and the life experiences of those close to her. She often employs the use of found objects, such as bird eggs, skulls, and nests as symbols throughout her work. She also incorporates the visual convention of dripping or draining to reference aging and mortality. Some of her paintings depict rights of passage, while others capture a moment in time.
