Jennifer Way is a lifelong, self-taught visual artist working primarily in acrylic abstract paintings and natural found sculpture. A great loss led to a reimagining of her life. A season of bravery and new avenues of creativity brought her back to live in her native, northern Michigan to pursue art.
Way’s art is visual poetry. Her work centers around the intersection of love, faith, nature, and art, marking life milestones, joyful celebrations and overcoming hardship. It documents the inner work of our lives—the aspects we can and cannot control. This balance is often reflected in her mediums and how she uses them. The rhythm of the seasons, lake and land, sunrises and sunsets are deeply embedded in her work.
Way curates entire sensory experiences around her collections to cultivate an even deeper connection with her collectors. Each collection includes some version of a signature scent, a playlist, a talisman, and a taste.
Way’s art can be found in private collections in Nashville, New York, Houston, and other cities across the country. She partners with galleries, curators, interior designers, and those who understand how our surroundings mark and reflect our internal journey.
We are so excited about the upcoming Charlevoix and East Jordan Chamber of Commerce Business Expo and Best in Taste event scheduled for March 18th, 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Castle Farms. this is the first ever Business Expo for the East Jordan Area Chamber of Commerce and we are delighted to partner with the Charlevoix Chamber to showcase our businesses, organizations, events and restaurants.
