She was born in Trinidad and Tobago and grew up in a musical family, with her love for music and the arts being nurtured from a young age. Her academic path in tertiary education led her to studies in food science at McGill University, Canada, earning a Ph.D. She has worked in the food industry in the US, Europe, Latin America, and Canada for many years, and in 2009 discovered a hidden talent for art while living and working as a food industry entrepreneur in Ireland. She is self-taught and continues to experiment with art techniques and themes.
Her paintings have been accepted into Juried exhibitions at the Rotunda Gallery, The Office of Parliament of Trinidad and Tobago, 2020 to 2023. Jennylynd’s artwork is held by collectors in the Caribbean, the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, and Mexico.
In August 2022, Jennylynd opened the art gallery Arte Bacchanal in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico. Her goal is to provide a space for emerging artists to promote and sell their art, with themed group exhibitions throughout the year.

ARTIST STATEMENT
“Many of my acrylic paintings capture musicians and singers making music. With photographs as a reference, I crop the most animated scenes from performances and use loose brush strokes to portray movement. Whether it’s the bent back of a saxophonist or the forward lean of a pianist, actions are captured in simple brush strokes. I create figurative images of musicians without faces. The viewer has a personal experience with the image, both imagining the facial expressions and hearing the music produced. I like painting groups of musicians and singers to create the illusion of a loud, rich sound.”
