Regina\u2019s work features a combination of media that can vary greatly in terms of composition, color, texture, size, and more. Diverse movements, forces, and transformations occur in the natural world. These continual processes influence the layers and structures we see in everything around us. To create her own personal experiences, she decomposes and recomposes the physical and visual experiences that she encounters to express her own interpretation. She enjoys the exploration of new techniques with a combination of styles. She is consistently pioneering and continuously evolving in her art form.<\/p>\n

[320left]Regina lives in Clarksville, Tennessee. After high school graduation, she joined the U.S. Army and was stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. After her term ended, she settled in Clarksville, Tennessee, and studied Marketing and Graphic Design at Austin Peay State University. There, she learned that she had a passion for art.
\n 
\nAround the same time. Her father fell terminally ill and passed away. She used her artistic abilities to cope with his sickness and loss. She continues to use art as an outlet to express myself. Creating makes her soul sing. When she sits down with a blank canvas, her creativity unfolds, bringing her a sense of freedom.<\/p>\n

She is a former member and vice-president of the Downtown Artist Cooperative. She won first place in the 2017 U.S. Bank Open Exhibition hosted by APSU\u2019s Department of Art and Design.<\/p>\n

Her works have been displayed in many shows over the years including the Downtown Artist\u2019s Cooperative 2015-2020, Nashville\u2019s An Art Affair 2017, First Thursday Artwalk at Edward\u2019s Steakhouse 2017, U.S. Bank Open Exhibitions 2011 and 2017, Riverfest Juried Art Show 2016 and 2018, Roxy Regional Theater 2019, Trazo Meadery 2020, and was featured on the 5th floor of Tennova Hospital from 2020-2021 and most recently at Artlink on Strawberry Alley.<\/p>\n

Artist: Jennifer C. Pierstorff, Art by JCP<\/p>\n

Artist Statement: My art style consistently uses bright colors, contrast, textures and energy, even as the subject matter changes. Over the years, as I have evolved as a person, so has my art. For me, art is life \u2013 it is my purpose. The process of putting paint to canvas, heals me. It allows me to focus on the moment, to be present and use my pain as fuel. As an artist with (invisible) disabilities, I believe art has the power to heal.<\/p>\n

[470center]<\/p>\n

Lately, I have been focused on mixed media collages that are centered around bringing childlike energy and flow to the artistic process. They are smaller lighthearted pieces usually built on contrasting energy visually but also are imbued with positive manifestations.<\/p>\n

They are fun to create and experience as a viewer and hopefully bring abundance to their owner! I hope you enjoy viewing my work as much as I enjoyed creating it!!<\/p>\n
