Biography
Jenifer Bacon is an oil painter living in Horseshoe Bay, Texas. She recently moved to the Texas Hill Country from Colorado. She was happy to leave her snow shovel and bitter cold winters behind. Over the years she has lived in many different places; California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado. She’s found the rolling hills, oak trees and the warm nights in the hill country very inspiring to her work.
She grew up in Laguna Beach, California, living in a home overlooking the ocean with stunning views of the land and sea that had the perfect name “Top of the World”. She had the opportunity to observe birds of prey and ravens that soared over the cliffs. It greatly influenced her art and thinking. But, even in this lovely setting she would have traded anyone to live on a ranch riding horses all day and being a cowgirl.
After graduating from the University of California, Santa Barbara with a degree in Studio Art, she traveled throughout Europe experiencing the culture and the art. Eventually, she ended up working for many years as a digital artist specializing in technology startups.
She currently lives in Horseshoe Bay, Texas with her dog, a cat and a horse. For fun she rides and competes in reined cow horse events and enjoys hiking with her dog.
