Jenna is drawn to flowers as a subject for their many layers, texture and symbolism of growth, resilience and positivity. Her work is an exploration of bold color, contrast, depth and movement through refined brushwork.

Brownlee creates concepts that enliven spaces and serve community needs. She aims to show how women can have an impact and gain success through expressive art and demonstrate that art is an integral, powerful and experiential tool that unifies, energizes and beautifies our communities. With a mission to make people happy through art, her work is often inspired by collages of organic shapes found in nature with uplifting themes using vibrant colors, florals, botanicals and lettering.
