Artist Biography:

Colorado fine artist Jennifer Morrison Godshalk is a self taught artist who has developed her own colorful, unique contemporary style. Her works are often noted for their vibrant, layered colors.

Tragedy struck Jennifer and her children in 2011 when her husband of 20 years who suffered from severe depression ended his life. Because of financial strain, they were forced to sell their horses.

But God is faithful! Jennifer has grown and learned much from her life experience. She found new love in her life and remarried in 2012. With strong emotional support and encouragement from her new husband, Jennifer's work has enhanced in detail and beauty.

Her colorful artwork is premiered in upscale restaurants in Colorado including LODO Downtown Denver.
