Jenny Buckner

Jenny Buckner was born and raised in the mountains of North Carolina. She is a wife and a mother to two grown kids. Initially Jenny considered becoming a veterinarian, or a floriculturist. However, in the year 1998 everything changed. Jenny fell into a dark depression, but one night would change everything. Jenny awoke from a dream where God told her to paint. So, she did! Within a year she had won a national competition with one of her paintings. And the rest is history.

Jenny has gone on to be published in multiple magazines and newspapers as well as placing in and winning several art competitions, including an "International Artist Magazine's" competition. She was featured in their February/March 2015 edition and has also been published in the book "How to Paint People", Vol. 1, by International Artist. She uses her talents as a testimony to the power of Christ in her work and is eager to teach young aspiring artists.

“A painting creates an emotion just like a story does. If you’re emotionally involved somehow, you’re going to keep on reading, you’re going to keep looking, keep being drawn into the story, into the painting.” — Jenny
