In between taking commissions and producing work to sell online, Jen is also a full-time mum to three young children and the wife of a Baptist Minister.
Having discovered her abilities later in life, she has been surprised at the interest her paintings have received not just here in the UK but also selling her work all over the world. Taking her inspiration from nature and the Bible, she likes to produce art to either bring a smile or a challenge. Listen to or download a recording of Jen Ford's interview with Rev Sam King at the Exhibition Launch...

#Shetoo: About the Exhibition
Misogyny and sexism have played a great part in the way that we read the Bible and teach others from it, and as a result women have suffered greatly and often in silence. Domestic violence, bullying, spiritual, physical, and emotional abuse, continue to happen to women within church communities and very often the Bible is used to keep them silent and oppressed. This series of paintings aims to change the way in which the church views women, by re-introducing those women in the Bible who have been wrongly shamed, blamed and accused, providing the same freedom, vindication, options and purpose to all.
