My name is Jen Everett. I’m an artist and photographer with a background in architecture and construction. I was born in Detroit and currently reside in St. Louis, MO. I’m constantly observing, shooting, sketching, and evolving.

fav lyric from a song

The circumstances put soul in me

And there ain’t no holdin’ me

I’ve got a heart made of gold in me

Can you believe this is where I’ve been?

And when adversity comes again

I’ll deal with it then

A Little Better, Gnarles Barkley

People that do what they love every day, and don’t let the opinions of others dictate their path. I can find inspiration anywhere.

the nublack philosophy/mantra according to Jenn Everett

Remain true to your passions no matter what others do to discourage you. People will always try to make you average because misery loves company.
